I'm not very familiar with this so... Chip still holds copyright, but
granted permission to PG to reproduce the book?

Second, 'new introduction and bibliography'? Neat! Who is writing the
introduction and who is getting together the bibliography?

I have (somewhere) the Fall of the Towers trilogy in the bantam edition
and I'm sure others do too.

I'm wondering if Chip or his agent are making a distinction between the
Ace volume (Captives of the Flame) and the Bantam-and-later volume (Out of
the Dead City) and are keeping one for pay and leaving the other for PG,
if you see what I mean. That probably needs to be clarified.

It's a bit of a tease to just put one volume of a trilogy on PG. I wonder
if eventually we'll get all three...?
