I loved his Book of Swords series; well, the first two at least. The third was something of a let down (especially the ending; so many inconsistencies and dropped plot threads), and the Books of Lost Swords sequels were even worse.

Again, I'm against increasing the commitment. If you think a short story is good enough, you can submit it as your suggestion for the month. Or you can do as Bear Ribs suggests, and go with a collection of short stories that contains it.

I'm against it, personally; I'd rather the commitment was kept to just one book a month. Because while I could handle more, I also have other things I want to spent my time on as well.

Both eBay and Amazon have a number of used paperback copies for around six bucks; which isn't that much more expensive than a digital copy of Jake's Magical Market. Heck, the Internet Archive even has it available in their digital library for free; if for some reason you don't feel comfortable...

At first it was looking like it was going to tie with my suggestion, but someone apparently withdrew their vote. Ah well; if I keep suggesting it, eventually it'll get picked.
