It most certainly is, recently relaunched in the new white style. I've picked it up a few times with the intention of giving it a new home. Perhaps I should make that move permanent.

I had a go at one of his books (The Feast of July) last year but wasn't in the frame of mind for it. Methuen in the UK have been relaunching his books in recent times, with about six or seven out now. I picked them up because they were in a style similar to those of Richard Yates whose popularity in the UK has taken off since those editions came out back in 2001.
