How does ZBS get it to fit on one CD?

Oops red face

I only looked at the overview page which just had (CD) under the image
and the price of USD 50.

Going to the page with all the details, it is 8 *audio* CDs, so in fact
it works out to USD 6.125 per CD which is of course very reasonable.

If I got the impression that it was one CD, I would suggest that a few
other people may as well, if they just skim the page.

Yes I know, I should have checked the actual details, but when it is
late and one is just doing a cursory investigation ...

I seriously doubt they managed to get the whole thing onto a single CD.

Well they could do if it was a data CD with MP3 files. In fact they do
also offer those (320 kbps) for USD 45 which you would admit is effectively
more expensive per bit.

How much is Fourth Tower of Inverness?

6 audio CDs for USD 45.00

If you want to have a look at what it is on offer --

Now that I realize that the prices are for multi-CD sets,
the prices are not too bad.

In terms of stupid hippie jokes per dollar, it's one of the best deals you
can get today short of the Firesign Theatre albums.

OOPS again -- USD 6.25 per CD.
