I went poking around on the Dark Horse Web site and found 
listed under "ON SALE NOVEMBER 6" (In the October list; go figure)
this item:
Oh My Goddess!: 1-555-GODDESS (trade paperback collection)
$12.95 U.S., $18.95 Canada.

There's a link to this blurb:

OH MY GODDESS:
1-555-GODDESS TPB 

by Kosuke Fujishima

Can a phone call change your life? This one quite possibly could!
Morisato is spending another Friday night alone in his dorm room,
plugged into the television, with his greatest aspiration a
double-cheese pizza. When he misdials the delivery joint and gets the
goddess Belldandy instead, he's unknowingly bitten off more than he
can chew. Belldandy grants Morisato a single wish, and he jokingly
wishes for a beautiful goddess like her. But the joke's on him when he
gets what he wished for! Wizard refers to Oh My Goddess! writer and
artist Kosuke Fujishima as "The new jack on the American manga
scene!" Find out why in this 152-page collection, which includes issues
one through three of the first OMG! series, and issues three through
five of the second series. Translated by Alan Gleason and Toren
Smith.

SC, 152pg, b&w . . . $12.95

This looks like the same item. And it sounds like they will be
re-publishing the start of what they've published in comics
to date.
