New Hap and Leonard, and another to follow? Hooray!
It seems to me Bill mentioned a Hap and Leonard that was only being published in Italy. Is this it?

And if you'd like an interesting collection of some of my better short stories, the PORTABLE LANSDALE is a good place to go, and Bill Crider writes a nifty and truthful introduction. Joe Lansdale
