Vintage New Media has some of Powell's work available online as
downloadable files. There is a fee. The URL is
http://www.vintagelibrary.com/

By the way, Powell has an Email address. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what
it is. I think someone may have posted this to the list previously, so a
check through the archives might be worth while.

bibliographies based on subgenres (e.g., con games, capers, carney
novels).>>

I always liked the Rockford TV series and the way Rockford was frequently
on the fringe or deeply involved in some sort of con. Is there a good
non-fiction book about cons -- names, definitions and descriptions of the
various type of cons? --Duane
