Maybe you'd like to see a new cover or a new translation. Maybe you think an out of print book deserves renewed attention/availability... Whatever the reason, are there any books for which you'd like to see a new edition?

Emmeline | 193 comments I have two favourite books that need more attention.

One is my perennial favourite The Fat Woman Next Door is Pregnant. This one is technically available, but I believe only in Canada, with a wretched cover. It should really be reissued by NYRB, in my humble opinion!

The other is a Catalan novel called Natural History, which is a sort of adventure/vampire novel, but also historical, philosophical, so weird, and so good. It also desperately needs a new cover and a new twist to market it.

I recommend these books so often and few people ever read them, and I'm sure it's all about the packaging/low availability.

Both of these sound fabulous, Emmeline!
