Wool/Wool Omnibus by Hugh Howey question

[Melissa]

Hi all, I have a question and am hoping someone can help me out. I recently read Wool by Hugh Howey- the hardback version is what I checked out from the library. It was pretty thick. Anyhow, I really enjoyed it.. I went to put book #2 on hold but the library doesn't have it. (or any others except the Shift series)
I have read that it was initially released as a short story. Is the hardback version the Wool Omnibus edition with all 5 stories? Have I already read them all? Because I looked up subsequent books (Proper Gauge) and the reviews and "about" info is the same as the first book listing.
Thanks for any light you an shed on this. Happy reading!

Hi Melissa. I'm pretty sure you have read all the 5 stories, since the first one is around 50 pages, that is not really thick, is it? This is the first omnibus (wool) that contains all the 5 stories: Wool Omnibus. If unsure go back to the library and see if Proper Gauge is in the content.
The shift series is the second book. It is 3 short stories combined in this omnibus: Shift - which contains first, second and third shift.
The whole series was finished with the third book Dust
