| | Hang on... I'm just channelling Mr Poe now (Wait for the shaking to stop)....
...Yes, he says he's ready to resume his career, and could someone please restore his rightful place as the true author of The Wizard Of Oz.

Credit where it's due I say |

| | Thanks.
...Now could you tell me what I meant? :)
After I'd written that my eyes rolled up in my head, I started shaking, and began to speak in tongues.
(Don't know what happened next, but I woke up in the garage in my Y- Fronts with a half empty bottle of Paraffin next to me) |

| | Indeed, it seems we're at a three way cross purpose...
I saw you changed the publisher nb, and entered a couple of books under that name, and zab posted asking about the tag, and I thought that he might be referring to penguin collective (he he...good name for a band that!), but now I wonder if he just didn't see the change, which you think I didn't, but did.
So I was asking a question in answer to zab's question which you'd already answered, but which zab hadn't noticed, but I thought he did, in which case, I answered a question he hadn't asked with a wrong question, unless he was asking the question I thought he'd asked, in which case my question in response to his was the right question. |

| | It doesn't have The Raven in it - this sticks to his short stories (as opposed to poems).
It does however include "The Tell-Tale Heart" which I read as a young lad and which remains one of the most phenomenal (and influential, to me as an occasional writer myself) pieces of writing I've ever read.
I think listing them as "Penguin Popular Classics" is a good idea - there are tonnes of these about and it would be nice to have them grouped together. They used to sell them in Waterstones for 99p as I recall - I had "Tender Is The Night" and "Crime And Punishment" as well but I seem to have got rid of those two as they're not on the shelf anymore. |

| | Does this have The Raven in it?
- As a side issue, I've a couple of these editions floating about somewhere, and are very popular due to their size and cheapness (at the time), but is it wirth giving them the distinction from other Penguin books (and penguin classics books), as listing the publisher as: Penguin Popular Classics? - |
