Obviously he doesn't need the money and isn't motivated to sell them because they have been for sale for along time. Copper Dragon Books is one of the sellers and I can't remember the other.Quote:

Pro-Uncut edition:
- some (including me) prefer the Uncut edition's fuller, richer experience;
- some (also including me) recognize that the original novel wasn't the original story (abridged as it was) and that the Uncut edition is the closest we'll get to the original story.

I have one on order from Sub Press but still have not received it.
I can't remember if they were damaged or were the slipcases defective?
