There´s another issue of Ligottis` work published in Germany; its name is: In einem fremden Land, in einer fremden Stadt. The book is a collaboration between Ligotti and HR Giger.You can either buy a paperback or a limited hardcover of 350 issues. It (the Hardcover) is signed by both, Giger and Ligotti, and was published by Blitz Verlag/Edition Metzengerstein. The translation is rather bad, if you want my opinion, but at least I own one of the Hardcover copies (number 111)
 
I also have a copies of this in both trade paperback and limited edition hard cover. My limited copy is #350 of 350 (the end of the line). It is a nice looking volume, though my favorite edition is still the original printing from Durtro.
 
I have copies of Die Sekte des Idioten, Teatro Grottesco, and paperback and hardcover copies of In einer fremden Stadt In einem fremden Land #052. I bought these because I have hopes of one day learning the German language. Some of my favorite authors wrote in German. I think it would be an entertaining way to learn German to see how close I could come to retranslating TL back into English. I picked up the limited hardcover because I found an inexpensive copy (around $50) on eBay. I admit it is pretty cool to have a book signed by both Ligotti and Giger. (You can tell Giger has signed a lot of autographs, his 2 letter sig is near indecipherable). I ordered a German language audio book of Ligotti's stories from Germany a few years ago but I never received it. It must have gotten lost in the mail. Bummer. I still don't have Das Alptraum-Netzwerk.

When did you buy your copy of "In einer fremden Stadt, in einem fremden Land" and who did sell it to you?; because I have sold about four issues on ebay this year.

I looked for this book at Shocklines, but didn't find it. I recently bought there Jeffrey Thomas' German edition of Punktown with cover art by Giger, out on Nevermore.

Know where I could order this book? I wouldn't mind reading Ligotti in German, although the original English is always better, but I have no way of buying Ligotti/C93's "In a foreign Town in a Foreign Land"... and besides, illustrations by Giger adds a lot of value.
 
Just try a metacrawler for antiquarian books like eurobuch.com or abebooks.com; if you have further questions don't hesitate to ask
 
I don´t have the limited copy yet, but this book opened to me a never closed door to the fiction of Ligotti when I was 17 years old I guess. It left a big impression on me. I think it was "The shadow at the bottom of the world" on this book that amazed me so much. Really Incredible. I still read the stories on German, because my English is so bad and I haven´t any feelings related to the language. But one day I will buy the whole Nightmare Factory and enjoy the original language...
