Hard Case Crime & Charles Willeford?

Sent an email to

 Hi, Mr. Ardai. 

I’m still loving Hard Case Crime . . . and looking forward to seeing the comic books that are coming out any minute now. 

Meanwhile, I’ve just happened upon a writer I’m sure you’re familiar with: Charles Willeford. Most of his books are pretty readily available in one form or another, but there are a few which are really expensive . . . one to two hundred dollars expensive. They are:

Understudy for Love (1961) 

 No Experience Necessary (1962) 

Off the Wall (1980) 

Everybody's Metamorphosis (1988)

Cockfighter Journal: The Story of a Shooting (1989)

Is there a chance that Hard Case Crime could bring any of these books out?

Thanks.

Heard back. They're going to take a look-see.

Hot damn.

In case you aren't aware of them, Hard Case Crime is a most wonderful publisher. The covers alone are worth the price of admission . . . but their author list is most impressive as well: Stephen King, Michael Crichton, Mickey Spillane, Robert Bloch, Robert Silverberg, Roger Zelazny, Harlan Ellison, James M. Cain, Donald Westlake . . . hell, they've even got a novel from Watergate Conspirator E. Howard Hunt. And many others.  Check out their homepage. It's worth your while.
