Omnibus Editions by BAEN Publishing
There are currently 22 Andre Norton Omnibus editions by BAEN Publishing. 12 of them are "Series" specific and 10 consist of "Stand-alone" novels by Andre.
In 2012 at DragonCon I had the opportunity to discuss Andre Norton books with Toni Weisskopf a representative of BAEN Publishing. During that conversation she was asked "what is up with all these weird parings and titles of your recent releases?". We were referring to the Omnibus Editions that have been released by BAEN. Titles like "Ice and Shadow" containing "Ice Crown & Brother to Shadows" or "Children of the Gates" containing "Here Abide Monsters & Yurth Burden".
Her answer was that BAEN had a list of titles they had access to, they had paired all the titles that actually go together a while ago, and now they are combining whatever titles they have left to make new editions. As for the weird titles BAEN people brainstorm and come up with titles that people would be interested in. It can be noted that the covers do match at least one of the stories within the edition. She also added that they are rapidly coming to the end of that list. We at Andre-Norton-Books.com are hoping they get many more titles to release, so that the new generation of readers can have access to all of Andre's works.
Those 10 "Weird" pairings are covered in this section.
