You learn something every day, and on a recent digest from the fictionmags group, I found out that John D. MacDonald's son gave his permission to British publisher Robert Hale to reprint Weep for Me. From what I understand, there was a small first printing and then a second printing. I checked out abebooks.com and saw several copies listed for prices that are fairly reasonable. I should probably buy one, but I won't, since I have copies of both paperback printings. Since JDM wasn't happy with the book and didn't want it to be reprinted, I'm surprised his son gave permission. I'm even more surprised that this news slipped past me.
