What is the best way to acquire readable copies of Ellison’s short stories?

Amazon prices look extremely high at hundreds of dollars per copy. By readable, I mean books with font sizes larger than size 6 so a probably editions published after 1990. Is there a better name for these readable non-1970s editions?

eBay and thrift books are also good alternatives.

I guess I am surprised prices are so high but I guess many of his books are out of print.

The local used book store just closed. I will have to travel out a bit further.

The 35-year retrospective is excellent but not portable for the commute.

Maybe a road trip is needed or some careful hunting on eBay.

Gotcha, yeah it's not very portable. Good luck!
