The Leaning Tower of Damocles

While we’re on about the novels… (GB3)

Takachiho-sensei mentioned this on his blog and I just found it at Hayakawa Shobo’s site…

There is a new printing of Daatipea no Daifukkatsu [Great Resurrection of the Dirty Pair], the novel with which the Author returned to the series in 2004 after a twelve-year hiatus and brought the Lovely Angels out of “cold storage” (literally). This reprinting will be out on 24 January (and I see Yas. redid the cover — and redesigned the Pair slightly again…).

[update (2/21) — a copy of this printing has now come to hand (rocketed to me by AmazonJapan, even without asking for Air Mail!). In an interesting reversal of usual practice, the earlier trade paperback had no interior illustrations, but this new printing does. Maybe Yasuhiko-sensei was too busy at the time of the original edition; he even did a new color frontispiece for this one.]
