    Well, no. Your earlier post:

    "And a number of authors have said no to my requests to reprint some of their early work: Alan Furst won't allow his early comic pot dealer novels to be reprinted;"

    Gave other possible implications. But thanks for clearing this up. So far the quality of the Hardcase reprints has been very good, and I'd hate to think you'd start reprinting lousy books just to chase after some easy (easier??) money.
