Also surprised to learn that the recent Penguin Maigret reissues (I have all of them) are not widely available in the U.S.!

I've just realized there are some other translated Matsumoto books out there that I haven't yet read — and a new translation of Tokyo Express forthcoming this fall. Things to look out for in next year's list!
