Thanks for the information, Andy. I bought 3 paperbacks over a decade ago, but as they are getting more difficult to obtain/pricier, these cheap ebooks are welcome. Hope PP publish all of the series. I hope so too. PP started an ambitious program. Among others they do the rest of all of the Harknett, James, Harvey and Wells written series. Western, historical, war. Everything from Apache to The Revenger. Also they do the rest of Edge and Steele, with the original covers.

As one-half of Piccadilly Publishing, I recently tried to obtain the rights to reissue all of Ralph Hayes' JIM RAINEY books to accompany the Peter McCurtin titles, but now well into his nineties, Ralph is reluctant to enter into any new contractual arrangements. Too bad - I think the Jim Rainey books are better than many people give them credit for.

Love your work on Piccadilly Publishing. Even if I own what used to be called the full deck (if I remember correctly about the term) or at least nearly the full deck, I buy a lot of your Ebook editions from Edge to Herne. Wonderful that you got the original artwork for Jubal Cade, Gringos and The Eagles.
McCurtin is the riddle which never gets old. I bought one of your Carmody editions (#4) to check the German translation and how it was edited. It was released in paperback in one of those western lines in 1974.
Imagine my surprise that it proved to be very different versions. The text of the translation was written in the first person, while you did the third person version. So McCurtin is not only mysterious of what did he write, but also which version got sold to whom.
Pity about Ralph Hayes. Would have made a nice addition to the line.
