Mr. Cornwell, I purchased Sharpe’s Eagle when it was first published in 1981. I have since collected, and loved, every one of your historical novels as soon as they were available. However, whenever I look at my “Cornwell” shelves I am annoyed by the paperpack edition of Sharpe’s Tigers. I think it is one of the best of the Sharpe’s novels, but it apparently was never released in a hardbound edition in the US. So it sits among my First Editions looking like a poor relative. Why did this happen? Or am I wrong and a hardbound edition escaped my notice? Gregg Singer
