My local SF&F store had them split equally between Bradley and Lisle. Guess
which copies sold out first?

Fortunately, they know their stuff, so when people come in and ask for Lisle, they get
directed to the other stash of books. 

OTGH, They asked me if I was looking for other MZB books when I asked for
Glenraven, so I patiently explained that no, I was looking for *Lisle*... :-)
