Well, since I'm a newly obsessive fan who's been getting the books from the library, I put the anthology atop my Christmas wish list.
But I'm glad it's not the only way to get the unfinished book.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Woof. When you said "anthology" I had a brief vision of 21 books in a single enormous binding, like Webster's 2nd, complete with onionskin pages. Thank goodness, it looks like 5 HC volumes.
(I mean, not that I am in need of it, but I was despairing on behalf of compositors everywhere.)

Thrive to spite them
I still haven't finished Master and Commander. I restarted it and I got bogged down on the whole practice firing that leads to taking a ship but I haven't actually finished that part.
I keep losing track of who's who or totally lose a mental image of what's going on.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I still skim some of the battle scenes, though I can follow them much better than I did when I started.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My dad loved those books and had the whole collection, which he had licked up in dribs and drabs from my mom's used bookstore over the years. My mom gave them to my uncle when my dad died and it was a real pleasure to see the tattered non-matchy collection of paperbacks displayed prominently amongst the leather-tooled legal tomes in my uncle's living room when we visited last summer.

Art Crawl!!!
I just finished the first story in Blackbird House and it did what Alice Hoffman stories used to always do -- bring me to tears.
I think I'm going to have to reread before I go to the next one.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
This is why I love the library:
I was picking up some stuff at the library today, when I noticed the librarian had a stack of kids' books that had been returned, which she was checking in.
On the top was From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, which prompted me to say "Oh, I love that book!" She replied with "I know! Have you seen the movie?" I told her I had no idea that it had been made into a movie, and she said oh yes, it had, with Lauren Bacall.
I said I'd have to look for it, and she said "Do you want me to see if it's in the library system?" I said sure, and lo and behold, it was not only in the library system, but in that very branch. And so I have it at home, waiting to be watched.
So cool.
