omnibus edition of #1, #2 & #3:
ebook only, so far (kindle, mobi & epub formats known to exist; isbns issued):
#O: ''new celebrations: the adventures of anthony villiers'' (2002), q.v.
not a trilogy in the sense of telling one structured story overall, but a series of novels of manners and style, with some very nicely-observed characters, including the trog, torve.
it'd be great, were the trailed fourth, "the universal pantograph", ever to be published - presumably in an omnibus of all four now - maybe illustrated by a sympathetic (and alien?) b+w artist - alexei ?
.edit: alexei alas died 21st august 2022, so this has become much less likely, and perhaps impossible.
