RARA-AVIS: Recent purchases

From: William Denton ( buff@pobox.com)
Date: 25 Oct 2004


Some of the colleges at the University of Toronto have book sales in the fall, and I got some good stuff this year:

Edward S. Aarons: ASSIGNMENT--BLACK VIKING; ASSIGNMENT--HELENE; ASSIGNMENT--SUICIDE; ASSIGNMENT--ZORAYA; ASSIGNMENT--NUCLEAR NUDE. I don't even really like this series, but at a buck each, I grabbed them all.

John D. MacDonald: THE DREADFUL LEMON SKY; BARRIER ISLAND; TIME AND TOMORROW: WINE OF THE DREAMERS / THE GIRL, THE GOLD WATCH, AND EVERYTHING
/ BALLROOM OF THE SKIES; THE LONELY SILVER RAIN; CINNAMON SKIN; ONE MORE SUNDAY. Hardcovers.

Joe Gores: GONE, NO FORWARDING

Bill Pronzini: THE STALKER

William F. Nolan: HAMMETT: A LIFE AT THE EDGE

Brett Halliday: THIS IS IT, MICHAEL SHAYNE. The burly red-headed detective is in hardcover here.

Thomas B. Dewey: ONLY ON TUESDAYS ("but not with this girl--she was a full-time job"). It's "a new Pete Schofield sizzler."

Charles Williams: AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA

Rosemary Herbert, ed: THE OXFORD COMPANION TO CRIME AND MYSTERY WRITING This came out in 1999. Lots of interesting stuff on all aspects of crime writing. Mr. Crider and Mr. Greene are among the contributors, and Max Allan Collins did several entries including the one on Spillane.

Max Allan Collins: MAJIC MAN

All in all, I was pretty pleased. Very good prices on them all, too. A nice haul.

Bill
