Comments on: The SCOTTISH PRISONER now out in paperback! https://dianagabaldon.com/2012/05/the-scottish-prisoner-now-out-in-paperback/ Author of the Outlander Series Tue, 19 May 2026 19:52:08 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=3.9.40 By: Loretta https://dianagabaldon.com/2012/05/the-scottish-prisoner-now-out-in-paperback/comment-page-1/#comment-1317947 Sat, 16 May 2026 23:47:17 +0000 http://www.dianagabaldon.com/?p=1787#comment-1317947 Hi, Lyressa,

THE SCOTTISH PRISONER is out of print in hardcover in the U.S.A., and likely other publishing areas around the world. I dunno where you got that exhorbitant price. Online I found lots of used copies of it in good to excellent condition for less than $40 (USD) or so. Used hardcovers of this book signed by Diana are around $50 and up, I saw in my search.

The Poisoned Pen bookstore offers new paperback copies of THE SCOTTISH PRISONER online that include Diana’s signature for the list price of the book plus shipping. There is no extra charge for Diana’s signature, and they sell all her book editions that are currently in print. Also those books that may be pre-ordered once publication dates are known. See:

A BLESSING FOR A WARRIOR GOING OUT will be released first in hardcover, once a publication date is known, and will certainly not be $300 (USD)! I’d guess it will be between $30 and $40 in the U.S.A., but that is just my guess.

Easton Press creates special leather-bound hardcover editions of Diana’s books that can be expensive, but they don’t list THE SCOTTISH PRISONER.

I hope you find the editions that you want!

Will it be available in hardback at a more affordable price at some point?

It’s a pity though you didn’t include in The Scottish Prisoner the scene when Jamie offered himself in gratitude for taking care of Willie. I’d like very much to read it from lord John point of view, his turmoil of thoughts and feelings and may be (I hope))) some involuntary fantasies about the Scott later in the night. )
I hope very-very much for continuation of Lord John Grey series!
Sincerely yours,
Ri

Oh how I LOVE your books. I was shocked when I “turned the last page” of The Scottish Prisoner on my e-reader because as usual I wasn’t ready for it to be over. I need to know what happens next to Jamie and little William and how Lord John Grey comes to be his step-father! I can’t recall the details of this period in time from the Outlander series because there’s so much detail in every book I can’t keep it all straight. I’m always engaged in the moment of each story. I too could likely read this series over and over again many times without getting bored. I fear the end of this series because no other books I read between them ever compare!! Please keep writing forever. :-)

-Erin

When I saw the Lord John books coming out, I got really nervous that there wouldn’t be anymore in the series that come from Claires POV. But I’m sincerely glad that that’s not the case. This is my favorite series EVER. I think my favourite book of yours would probably be A BREATH OF SNOW AND ASHES. I don’t know though, all of them are spectacular. I’m super excited for the new book that’s coming out. Just one thing PLEASE???!! Don’t sacrifice the quality of the book to get it out to us faster. I don’t mind waiting. Other series tend to get less and less good as they grow, because the author starts to rush for the demand for them. Anyways — Super excited!!

No, the next book after A BREATH OF SNOW AND ASHES is AN ECHO IN THE BONE. THE SCOTTISH PRISONER is kind of an interpolation–a joint Jamie/Lord John adventure set in 1760; you can read that one any time after VOYAGER, for the events and timeline to make best sense.

Just a little more depth and he’s a ringer for Jamie!

Just a comment about hay ” bales” (in the barn). Before the 19th century, hay was cut and stored in haystacks, being that there was no machinery available to actually make bales of the hay, as we do nowadays. Therefore, Jamie would not have sat on hay bales, but more likely on some sort of tack box, or barrel, but not a hay bale (as they did not yet exist).

Keep up the stories!!!

Very disappointed with it – he does sound low class and not trustworthy compared to how he sounds when Davina narrates.
