*Hell: Dante's Divine Trilogy Part One Decorated and Englished in Prosaic Verse* came out last year, and *Purgatory: Dante's Divine Trilogy Part Two Englished in Prosaic Verse* this year, my wife got me them both for birthday/xmas this year, I've only read Hell but it's really good, and some nice artwork included as is/was his custom.

I've always loved that inscription/typesetting was as important a part of his work as the prose itself, and he had a sympathetic publisher who respected that and worked with him - get as nice a copy of Lanark as you can as it's genuinely beautiful to look at as well as read.

For similar reasons, his *Anthology of Prefaces* is just a great esoteric work that's lovely to have and keep for dipping into.
