For me it's mainly that they keep on with the Ian M Banks series.

I'd also like to see A J Cronin's works.

More Murakami.

And opening up the Canada storefront again so we don't have the double hit of non-UK prices and USD/CAD exchange rate.

Or even better, removing all geographic price discrimination completely and changing shipping rates to cover actual expenses.

- New Georgette Heyer
- An Agatha Christie book
- Faceless Killers #3
- The next “Ages” book in the DC collection (although I don’t think this will happen)
- Final James Bond book
- Something special (maybe an LE?) for the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth, as someone on here had pointed out!
- EDIT because I almost forgot: The Shadow of the Wind #2

>2 abysswalker:

I second what you said about price discrimination and shipping. That would really be appreciated and would make me buy more from them than I'm doing now, plain and simple.

As for books:

- I hope they're finally going to finish the Bond series.
- Robert A. Heinlein, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
- Michael Ondatjee, The English Patient
- James Clavell, especially Shogun, but ideally the complete Asian Saga
- the Gaiman short story collection they promised and then cancelled
- Red Magic illustrated by Kay Nielsen
- Robin McKinley's The Hero and the Crown, The Blue Sword, and ideally Deerskin, which is set in the same world

>4 SF-72: Robin McKinley oh yes! I totally second that!

Apart from the ever present wish for Watership Down, I also am still hoping for Piranesi and an Agatha Christie with illustrations by Andrew Davidson, another Marple would be great.

And also agree wholeheartedly about the whole pricing mess, this is getting a tad ridiculous

More poetry, as always. Given that there will be new editions of The Iliad and The Odyssey, other Homeric titles that FS could (and should!) publish include Omeros by Derek Walcott, the complete War Music of Christopher Logue, and Alice Oswald's Memorial and Nobody.

That said, I'd happily settle for something unimpeachably canonical, such as Wordsworth and Coleridge's Lyrical Ballads, Baudelaire's The Flowers of Evil or Stevens' Harmonium.

I really liked the suggestion someone had posted on another thread for Anna Kavan's Ice. Would also like to see more Vonnegut and Atwood, as well as Tolstoy's Resurrection.
