I believe that there are only two FPW books that are only in paperback:
The Tery and Virgin
Everything else, other than some of the anthologies, are in hardcover.

The good news is "Virgin" is readily available used (in good condition) in paperback at Amazon.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

I have a copy of _Virgin_ with a bookplate signed by Mary Elizabeth Murphy. Did your wife sign a few of these?

Dydeetown World is only in paperback, Healer, and Wheels Within Wheels might also only be available in paperback.

Healer and Enemy of the State were reprinted in Hardback by Stealth Press a few years back, they folded before they got to Wheels Within Wheels.
But WWW is at least in small hardback form, as Paul handed out a couple of old copies when he met us in Baltimore for the first GU.
No idea about Dydeetown World, so I'll go along with you on that one.

Dydeetown World was published in an Easton Press "First Edition" series... Leatherbound, signed.
But, now if Virgin is going to be in HC soon, we just have to work on Paul to get The Tery reprinted in HC, too.

Yeah, I got a copy of that Easton Press Dydeetown World. And it was a pretty penny, but worth it. However, it's in PERFECT condition (never been opened except by Wilson who autographed it) and I can't read it, so I have to get another copy just so I can read it. I'm not THAT much of a fanatic about books, but this one is just TOO nice!
