I finally own ALL THREE Barry Hughart novels (Bridge of Birds, The Story of the Stone, & Eight Skilled Gentlemen). Just got a library copy of Story of the Stone in the mail, after looking for the damn thing for years and years.
Now I can finally READ it.
I think I have cadhla, by way of netdancer, to thank for these. I THINK. Or perhaps it was oneminutemonkey and alemya. Somebody in the Crosstimes MUSH group, at any rate.
Whomever it is that I ought to thank- I can also now harbor a lingering sulky resentment NO LONGER about the fact I couldn't find the damned thing.
Yay!

  Doh.
  
  They just re-released all three in a trade paperback edition from 'The Stars Our Destination' press. Probably about 6 months or so ago? Maybe a little more. Probably not as collectible though. :)
  
  I need to finish up the series too. So much fun. I think I'll re-read from the beginning. :) I picked up the trade paperback at Borderlands a bit ago. It's next on my list after I finish Guns, Germs, and Steel.

  I have the omnibus edition from 1998, and although it looks nice it's got some editing problems. You're probably better off with the individual volumes.

  I've read all of them, my sister has the copy from the Sci-Fi Book Club. I have a copy of The Story of the Stone in hardback, and Eight Skilled Gentlemen in trade paperback, but I'm still trying to get my hands on The Bridge of Birds. When I do, I'm making my boyfriend read all of them.
  
  Number Ten Ox and Master Li, siiiiiiiigh.
