- I've dealt with Recoded Books, and I really like their stuff. It's
- read by professionals, and it is truly unabridged. And they make it
- very easy to rent. You just call them up and place the order,
- (it's easiest to pay by credit card) then they ship you the tapes.
- If you are renting, they send a return postage box so you can just
- drop the tapes into a mail box. You get a month or so to listen to
- them. They have a wide selection, all unabridged. The readers
- generally research the book a little, too, and it's more like
- listening to a one-man play than just a reading. They have a
- Fantastic "Lord of The Rings".
- The prices depend on the number of tapes you are renting, and
- generally range for $12-$30. You can also purchase them if
- you want, though I'm not sure what the prices for that are.
-
- Thanks for alerting me to the HarperHall Trilogy! I wonder if they
- have the Dragonrider Trilogy too? If not, they probably will
- soon....
