I have very few Hard Covered authors - the people who I have to rush and buy their books in hard cover, then (usually a year later) buy it in soft cover so I can lend it to friends. I have general rule about authors on that list - the moment I finish a book and say "I could have waited for the paperback for this merely adequate novel" I remove the author from my Hard Covered list. Cook is one of the very few on that list and he has been on it longer than any other author. Which means I need to pick up this book ASAP. Richard
