There's also the fact that HCC is publishing great new
content (in addition to some terrific reissues), like
Guthrie's KISS HER GOODBYE, which garnered an Edgar
nomination, and Stansberry's CONFESSION. Speaking of Guthrie,
he just won the Theakston's Old Peculiar prize at the
Harrogate Crime Fiction conference. My source (Donna Moore)
says it was for TWO-WAY SPLIT, but she was inebriated when
she told me.
Anyway, good on Charles Ardai for having the good sense to
publish a guy like Al. Because sometimes you *can't* judge a
book by its (admittedly cool, eye-catching retro)
cover!
All the Best-
Brian

I saw a new paperback of Bill Pronzini's recent
Nameless novel, MOURNERS, at the grocery book rack the other
day. From seeing the cover, I thought HCC had published this
edition -- the colors, the design and layout of the cover
looked similar to the HCC look & feel. A check of the
spine, however, told me this was a Tor book.
Publishers are apparently starting to recognize a
good thing.
