: : I noticed that there is a copy of CAROLINE beng auctioned on eBay, it is only a good+ copy. eBay item # 394297452: And there's a copy of MAID on ABE: : Cushing, Enid (aka Andre' Norton) Maid-At-Arms : Coventry Romances, 90 condition C+ only book written by Andrea' Norton using this aka, Regency, tape on spine, stamps, ink marks on cover and inside pages, yellowing due to age . Book # 22325 : Price: US$ 45.00 convert currency : Presented by THE BOOK STOP, Quartz Hill, CA, U.S.A. : order options That price is definitly based on scarcity. It took me years to locate this one. According to Ms Norton, however, this story was written entirely by Ms Cushing, a friend who was ill at the deadline time to send it off to the publisher, so Ms Norton kindly tightened it up and got it ready for publication as a favor. Being a Norton FANaddict, this was one I had to have for my collection. I got lucky and found it in the basement of a very large bookstore in downtown St.Louis, Mo. It was near the bottom of box containing what looked to be a complete collection of those Coventry Romances. It is in fine condition and I paid cover price for it. Three months later in Lake Charles, La I found a vg copy for 1/2 cover price. So, they are out there. Make of this what you will. Later, kind folks--Paul
