Dresden Files/ UK book readers? I need some help

[Kitkumi]

As I am stuck squarely in the middle of nowhere-Ohio, it is a pretty safe bet that I am not going to get across the ocean and back any time soon, and so I have a question for any fans of the Dresden Files book series, particularly those in the UK who may have been to a bookstore recently, lol.

The short of it, I have been trying to track down this particular set of books with the awesome, case-file looking covers. Apparently they are a UK release of the book. I'm trying to figure out if these things even still exist and if there are more:

The long of it, my fiance made an off handed comment the other day about the UK cover set being his grail when it comes to books and since then I've been trying to track them down as a Christmas gift for him, to no avail. All the ebay sellers I've come across have some of the most horrid feedback I've ever seen O.o  So I thought to ask around here to see what anyone knows All I've been able to dig up is that they are from Orbit (Little Brown Book Group) and that they are maybe discontinued?

what a good idea for him!
ebay can be shady, but have you tried amazon? ^^

Thanks
I have tried Amazon, but this particular cover set doesn't come up when I run a search. I gave Amazon UK a shot too but got almost the exact same search results lol.

Wow- those covers are awesome!  I've been rooting around amazon for different covers before and the trick is to press the little (+) by paperback in the list of all editions when you find the book page.  This should show you past editions of the book and you can look through those.   It looks like the covers you want are from an older edition released in 2005.

They had many new and used ones for sale, but if you do decide to buy from amazon you will probably want to check with the sellers first to make absolutely sure the book they have for sale is the right edition.  I've been burned many times when the seller lists they have a specific edition and they actually send a completely different edition.

Those are neat! I hope you can track them down! Best of luck!

I never knew that about the little + sign in Amazon, so thank you so much for the tip I always just ignored it. I'll have to go back and do a re-search to see what is available. And I know what you mean about being burned by getting the wrong edition book. That is always such a bummer
