			I have had similar non-responses from Harper Collins when I emailed to ask about ebook releases of specific titles.

			It kills me that none of his books are available yet.  I grew up reading The Collector and The Magus; never got around to reading his other books although I owned several of them.  I re-read The Collector recently and was reminded why he was one of my favorites.  I hope he's on someone's list. Michael |

			Anything by John Fante. Appears to be available outside of the US, but that doesn't help me any. Also, Ian McDonald, specifically Desolation Road.

			I've added the The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith, removed Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, and updated the Random House email. Note: If you want a book added to this list then it must be in the top 25,000 in Amazon sales rank, or it must be an indisputable classic. Don't just leave an author's name, because I'm not going to go look up what books they wrote. So unless it is an author's name that I recognize and already know which of their books is in the the top 25,000 (like Patricia Highsmith) then your probably going to be out of luck. It is best to leave a Title and Author -- and first verify they are in the top 25,000 sales rank. |
