I too am disappointed by the the absence of Richard Brautigan and would like to design his covers when you do decide to re-issue him. His books were for me synonomous with Picador back in the seventies. The covers are good but for me not engaging because they are curiously inorganic which is a hallmark I think of digital design processes. Design is often subjective but I would have much preferred colour rather than black and white, faces rather then shapes and forget about those clever clever ideas and go back to doing great iconic covers.

I'm told this problem was fixed a while ago - thanks for the heads up.

Friday 6th Jan 2012: Picador 40th Anniversary

To celebrate Picador’s 40th anniversary we are re-issuing 12 of our classic fiction titles. Among them you will find prize-winning books, books that have become global sales hits, books that caused huge controversy when published or were published to huge critical acclaim. Together they are a valuable set of must-reads.
