Why no hardcovers?

[Mark Kohut]

Blunt answer: They don't sell.
 Enough to print. 
Anymore.

Subject: Why no hardcovers?
  

I happened to notice that a couple of titles of Pynchon's library, Crying of Lot 49 and Gravity's Rainbow, and much of Cormac McCarthy's library don't have hardcovers in print among others I'm sure.  Why is this?  These are popular writers, that's why I'm puzzled by this.  I happened to spot a weathered hardcover copy of GR in my local library and I was tempted to check it out and "lose" it.
