Re: Is A Penguin Classics Ligotti Reprint Forthcoming?

I agree entirely. The hardcovers in the del Toro series look and feel very cheap (although I confess to having an erotic appreciation for the smooth feel of the boards as I press my fingers to them). I have a real fondness for Penguin Classic softcovers, & wou'd love to add a Ligotti to my collection.
