As I recall, if you like the Lafferty shorts and not the novels,
_Space Chantey_ may be sort of an in-between point, having been
half of an Ace-Double.

 That is the novel I began, but didn't get very far through, after it was
suggested here a long time ago, perhaps by you?
I have "Archipelago" to read and the opening chapters were as
entertaining to begin as his short stories are.
Many of his Kindle novels are only NZ$2 at Amazon Australia but I
noticed this hard back for NZ$560.96c; just to the right of the Kindle
price of NZ$10.74c,

Surely a misprint?

This sort of thing does happen.  For years, David Wishart's "The Lydian Baker" was only available as a (cheaply produced) paperback for $360. My second year statistical mechanics book, a $7 hardback, was on sale for $510, while Nathan Divinsky's "Rings and Radicals" (a mathematics book, despite its title) was on sale for about a hundred times my purchase price - and someone on this group offered to buy it from me even so.
