... Have they been reissued recently with Rufus on the cover!?!? I saw a Tweet where the woman referred to going to bed with Rufus, but it was really just a Zen novel with his face on the cover. Inquiring minds want to know!  |

Ooooooh nice - i want them!!!
My Zen omnibus is a little worse for wear after being left out in the rain, so i need new copies. But Amazon is still showing the old covers. I wonder how you guarantee getting the new ones?
Perhaps i'll keep a look out in the book shops.

Amazon (US) is where I found them. If the above link doesn't take you there, try amazon.com then search for Michael Dibdin and sort the search by publication date. Then you should be able to order the right ones. |

Woohoo!!!!! Pretty amazing that US Amazon has them now when it won't be shown here for many, many months.  Modified to add: An Inspector Zen mystery? |

Thanks for finding that original tweet, Judy!
Maybe they think "Inspector" sounds more detectivey (detectivish?).

When I had read Zen Omnibus (including Ratking, Vendetta and Kabal), I decided that I would buy the other 8 Zen stories, too. And at that time it was already difficult to get all of them, the paperback edition was nearly sold out, the next edition should be available in March. Now, with the Zen films being obvious a great success, it seems to me that the publisher changed the cover favourably.  I just wonder whether there will be some pics of the film inside like it was with the TPOTE books Just looked up: Amazon UK has those film titles as paperback (Aurelio Zen 01 - 03), whereas at Amazon US I saw only Vendetta and Kabal as Kindle e- books with those titles , but not Ratking (or any paperbook) |

If you sort the Amazon US list by publication date (there is an option on the top right part of the page in the light blue bar), they are showing the paperbacks. And they look very, very nice!
I hadn't thought of that! Wouldn't that be wonderful!!

Always! (Nothing to beat Ruf's pretty face on a book's cover - the old cover was rather bland ...)

I bought the omnibus edition of the three books from a charity shop, then decided not to read them until after I'd seen the episodes.
Methinks Oxfam are getting the omnibus back, and I'm getting Rufusified copies!
