and if these are the ones I think they are, they have really
nice covers and are small enough to slip into your back
pocket

Saw this in a recent email bulletin from a book distributor.
I think many of us have already read all the following
Willeford titles - but for those that haven't (and *should*),
here's an easy way to get three of his best novels in one
fell swoop:
CHARLES WILLEFORD BACK IN PRINT
"Three of Charles Willeford's noir crime classics are coming
back into print, thanks to No Exit Press. First of all, the
Charles Willeford Omnibus (1874061394, $19.95) has been
reprinted, containing as it does PICK UP, the story of two
alcoholics adrift in San Francisco, and COCKFIGHTER, the
story of a man obsessed with a very bloody, very cruel, and
very illegal sport, in the rural South. This volume does
contain one further book that is already in print in the
U.S., THE BURNT ORANGE HERESY, which we hope you will
continue to order from Carroll & Graf. But in addition to
this collection, in January of 2001 No Exit will be issuing
THE WOMAN CHASER
(1842430017, $13.95), which is soon to be a major movie
starring Patrick Warburton, and directed by Robinson
Dever-and already a big hit at Sundance. This is the story of
Richard Hudson, corrupt used-car salesman, who one day
decides to chuck it all and do something creative, and make a
film. Rejected, he goes on the bender of all benders,
drinking his way through the underbelly of L.A. and exacting
a monstrous revenge on all who have crossed him. It doesn't
get much darker than this."
