Jonathan, Welcome to another Edward Whittemore fan and thanks for visiting the site. You will be able to get the other Whittemore books in the New Year from Old Earth Books. Apparently they will be published as Trade Paperbacks and will sell for about $15.00 USD, far cheaper than acquiring the original hard covers, from Amazon or it's like. The last two books in the Quartet are extremely rare these days as they only had one printing and never came out in paperback. Keep checking this site for updates on the reissues - I'll be keeping a close watch on their progress. As for movie rights, I have never heard of anyone even broaching that possibility, though someone did have the idea back in the 70s of doing a movie of "Quin's Shanghai Circus".
