I'm sorry to hear these are going for so much. Even on eBay
you could get them for a couple of bucks a few years ago. I
read both of them and enjoyed them, although I wouldn't say
that much of his personal style came through. Thompson was
one author whose work I really enjoyed, with two
exceptions--The Golden Gizmo and Child of Rage, the latter of
which was the only one that I remember costing a little
more--to add to my disappointment. I think I paid 30 or 40
dollars for a copy. Another author whose entire catalog I
read and enjoyed even more was Charles Williams.
