One of the most heartbreaking things about the absolutely brilliant Good Omens (paperback link), from William Morrow, is that Terry Gilliam's film adaptation of the Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett novel never got off the ground. Why?
Because as soon as I read it, I could instantly visualize the story of hell's and heaven's representatives on Earth, who are caught completely flat-footed after centuries of "going native" when the Antichrist is born and the call to arms is issued.
After years of being available solely as a tiny paperback, it's getting the hardcover treatment again, featuring an interchangeable cover, a new foreword, FAQ's, an interview of Pratchett by Gaiman, and a Gaiman interview by Pratchett. If you've never read this book, you must.
