George Orwell's 1984 shows up now at Fictionwise -- the publisher listed is Random/Everyman's Library, and the thumbnail picture shows an Everyman cover. If memory serves, a few others are starting to pop up (the Mahfouz Cairo Trilogy, I think, and a couple of others). I'd like to see Penguin put out its 3 big Borges volumes, and the Screech translation of Montaigne, in e. Ditto Everyman's complete Montaigne, Maugham and Kipling and Dahl stories, James M. Cain, and Richard Yates volumes. Among others. Would lay down the credit card for these in a heartbeat. More Modern Library wouldn't hurt either.
