Title: A Great book & a tip on where to get them all.....
Review: I first stumbled upon this book about 6-7 years ago and immediately fell in love with it. I also decided to find any other Barry Hughart books. I found 8 Skilled Gentleman in a close out sale, but couldn't find The Story of the Stone anywhere. These are great books. Like a previous reviewer stated the tone of books is similar to that of The Princess Bride, though a little more grim and a little more adult. They are a must read. And finally, for those of you dying to get them all, the Science Fiction Book Club did a omnibus reprint of all 3 in a single hardback in 1998. You might still be able to get some. I know it was a high demand item for them, but it was definitely worth it to finally get to read all 3. A must read book that would make a great animated movie.
Is the review positive or negative?
