It's full of books that never appeared, by authors like Chaze and Brackett and Rabe and Brewer.<BR/><BR/>I used the catalog as a want-list and managed to pick up virtually every title Black Lizard intended to reprint.<BR/><BR/>Of course Random House, once they owned Black Lizard, published not one of the books projected by the catalog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-86575843191886014882007-03-30T03:06:00.000-07:002007-03-30T03:06:00.000-07:00I seem to remember from discussion on the Rara-Avi...I seem to remember from discussion on the Rara-Avis list that the book is now in public domain and the publisher of the trade paperback is one specializing in public domain books. Charles Ardai of Hard Case Crime said that they don't do public domain books, so they won't reprint BLACK WINGS. Maybe they could do one of Chaze's other novels - or Stark House.Jurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021010310386744591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-34464130974026721022007-03-29T18:42:00.000-07:002007-03-29T18:42:00.000-07:00Hi Fred--There seems to be a trade edition of Blac...Hi Fred--<BR/><BR/>There seems to be a trade edition of Black Wings available, which wuld preclude Stark House from doing it. I can't speak for other publishers. Nuts. We could've done Black Wings and one of his other novels--if we could have made a deal.

Sounds like a Stark House edition of this and Chaze's other crime novels is in order.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
