  1. Re:Not really a sneaky trick on The Curse of Chalion · · Score: 1

    Blurbs on Hardcovers are on the flaps of the dust jacket. The notice is there on the front flap.

    And the notices were up months before you could even get the book.

  2. Not a sleazy trick, writer can't read. on The Curse of Chalion · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Baen once more accused of a sleazy trick.

    The author obviously did not read the Miles, Mystery, and Mayhem information that was available. There are sample chapters that have the cover blurb included which clearly states:

    Publisher's Note: Miles, Mystery & Mayhem was previously published in parts as Cetaganda, Ethan of Athos, and "Labyrinth." This is the first unified edition.

    As well as the Table of Contents which shows:

    Miles, Mystery and Mayhem
    Table of Contents

    Cetaganda
    Ethan of Athos
    Labyrinth
    Afterword

    Baen probably puts more information on-line about their books than anyone, with sample chapters, cover blurbs and you can read them on the cheap as un-encrypted e-books through their WebScriptions. But if you don't read the information, it won't do you much good.
