As popular as Sandra Boynton is, I’m really surprised that Hester in the Wild hasn’t been reprinted.
Jean-Michel Angebert’s THE OCCULT AND THE THIRD REICH- I believe it was the first of such books & has a reputation of being the best, also has a reputation of being one of the most-stolen-from-libraries books out there.
I considering how 25 years ago, any decent bookstore would contain a BIG Taylor Caldwell display, I think now only CAPTAINS AND THE KINGS is still in print from a conventional publishing house.
I can’t find anything by this author at my local library.
First, it’s Dashiell Hammett.
Since 2000, Red Harvest, The Dain Curse, The Maltese Falcon, The Glass Key, and The Thin Man (in other words, all five of his novels) have been reprinted, and collections of his short stories, his nonfiction, and his letters have also been released in that time.
That’s the one he’s got a sequel out to - The Dragons of Babel. Hardback from Tor. And there is a UK ‘Fantasy Masterworks’ edition of The Iron Dragon’s Daughter still available…
Heinlein’s Star Beast is o/p
Many Pulitzer Prize winning books are out of print, particularly those written before about 1960.
Surprising that the paperback isn’t in print, apparently – it seems his others are. I note that the audiobook version is still “in print”, though:
There’s a delightful collection of short stories by Barry Longyear called “It Came From Schenectady” that the B&N in-print database said was long gone. How could such a small, cheerful book not have devotees?
Perhaps they’ve all been checked out. He really is a remarkably good novelist…especially in Harvest, Falcon and Key.
Try again. Better yet, buy copies…that’s the way things stay in print.
Maud Hart Lovelace’s Betsy-Tacy series is, once again, out of print. The first book is, apparently, back in print.
I have some hope that the Minnesota Historical Society will take them on and keep them in print.
My husband checks the magazine racks for Tom Swift books, periodically.
I want to say the same words
Try amazon.ca–sometimes Canadian publishers still have something Amazon doesn’t.
A number of Robert Charles Wilson’s books have gone out of print. The thing I really like ablout making a descent living is that when I see a book I want, I just buy it, even if I think I won’t read it for a while. Then when it goes out of print in the interval, I have my copy.
Having collected a lot of classic science fiction recently I know exactly what you mean. On the other hand I couldn’t be more thankful for the Science Fiction Book Club which printed up gigantic piles of great stuff which can be found cheaply used. I’ve taken advantage of that so often I’ve considered joining just to thank them for those efforts…
I’ve read that thanks to the status of modern publishing that it is necessary for book publishers to do smaller print runs of everything except the evergreen sellers, then let it go out of print, and then wait a little while (sometimes just a year or two for midrange titles) before printing a new edition.
The Oxford Companion to Food just went out of print.
Rifleman Dodd just came back.
