-----------------------------------------
Weidenfeld & Nicolson have published VN in hardback in the UK
ever since the 1960s.
It would not be surprising if Viking (which now owns Penguin paperbacks)
were to publish the softcover version. Twenty UK pounds is way over the
top for average price of even the plumpest paperback - but maybe that's
the wicked way of the world.
