Re: Ultima Books?

You can get these really easy:

go to www.bn.com (Barnes and Noble), hit the advanced search. For example, Forge of Virtue comes up but BN doesn't have any. Click "Used Copies Available from Authorized Sellers" and you get a list of people who sell it. For of Virtue is around 2 bucks, Temper of Wisdom for around 3. Hope that helps

Re: Ultima Books?

lol $0.01? does that even pay?
let's hope that price doesn't say anything about the literary quality of these books

edit: ouch I guess it does:

"This is a spinoff of the long-running ULTIMA series of computer games. Unfortunately, it doesn't tie close enough with Ultima mythology to please fans, while at the same time not explaining things well enough for newcomers.

The main characters are all pretty unlikable. One unsympathetic protagonist is fine; four or five turns the book into an exercise in masochism.

There's really very little adventuring. Most of the text is devoted to the same argument rehashed multiple times, or to long, repetitive slogs through the muddy countryside, or to calming the panicky horse yet again.

Avoid this; I don't recommend it. "

I am not sure what your post was inferring.

It seems irrelevant how much Raziel pays for the books,the content would be the same surely ?

are you serious? darn

just don't expect a literary masterpiece for that price. Seems the use for Ultima lore research is also limited.
But heck, for $ 0.01 you can always pride yourself buying something where the shipping is 100 times more expensive than what you actually bough. I doubt that happens often.
