I LOVE these. Totally old school looking. Push-pin era design.
Lovely, but still just the same ones Picador did a few years back. Why won't anyone touch his first or last novels ('Travelling People' & 'See the Old Lady Decently', respectively)?
I've got 'Albert Angelo', 'Trawl' & 'House Mother Normal' in an omnibus edition (see http://www.amazon.co.uk/Omnibus-Albert-Angelo-Mother-Normal/dp/0330353322), which is a little boring but nice enough. (And 'Double Entry' from the same series.)
But what the hell is that 'Trawl' there? That's the ugliest - and least appropriate - cover I've ever seen.
Ian, they're lovely, aren't they?
jb, good question--the last editions seem to be Panther from the 1960s. I'm assuming Picador doesn't have the rights, but I wonder who does?
These covers were done by La Boca for Picador UK.
No rights for Travelling People & See the Old Lady Decently as far as I know.

Thank you for that--I'll add it to the post.
