"Del Rey Internet Newsletter #37" - читать интересную книгу автораnext book (first of a two-part series) will be a far-future, military SF
novel set in another star system. It will be published in early 1997 in mass-market paperback. Q: What determines whether a "compilation novel" (two-in-one or three-in-one volume) gets released? A: A bunch of interrelating factors: a new book in a popular series often puts us in mind of a two-in-one or three-in-one edition of earlier books in the series. We republish backlist classics in this combined format (called "omnibus" in the trade) to give them another shot at the shelves with an attractive price--omnibus editions always cost less than two or three separate books. And sometimes an unrelated new book by a popular author, or renewed interest in a series, is reason enough to publish an omnibus. However, omnibus editions are high. Therefore, the profit margin on them is very low, so we can't do them for all our authors and series.
