The Thane novels are fairly easy to acquire in the original text -- they were
picked up by the Sears Book Club in the 1940s (a book-of-the-month sold through
the Sears catalog) and there seem to be plenty of copies floating out there.  I
rather like the SBC editions as they are sturdy hardbacks with pretty dust
jackets and gorgeous illustrated endpapers, but from a book dealer's view, book
club editions are not as desirable.  You could probably build a whole set for
$10-$15 a book, maybe less if you can find a set going on Ebay.
