A quick notification to list members:
Our "special edition" of Charles Willeford's classic novel
THE BLACK MASS OF BROTHER SPRINGER is almost out. The proof
has been approved and first copies expected to arrive soon.
We hope to ship it within a week and are taking orders. It
will be officially available sometime next month -- these are
hot off the press, mailed at the same time review copies
are.
This trade paper edition (no hardcover edition) includes the
rare novel, the never-before published play version of the
novel, THE ORDAINMENT OF BROTHER SPRINGER and a new
introduction by James Sallis. $17.95 retail, $2.50 shipping
in the US.
In The Washington Post Barry Gifford called the book
Willeford's
"masterpiece" and in his upcoming book READ 'EM AND WEEP he
called it ". .
. a Gila monster of a novel . . . its teeth marks will still
be on your hand after you finish it."

Digest V5 #379
I
am starting a new publishing company, and my first book out
next year will be Lost Stories, a collection of 21 currently
unavailable stories by Dashiell Hammett. Joe Gores has
written an introduction.
I
am restoring Hammett's stories to the original versions that
appeared in magazines before they were edited for reprinting
in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine. (Some Hammett originals
were one-tenth longer than the EQMM versions!) With the kind
assistance of Richard Layman, William Nolan, and Bill
Pronzini, I have been able to track down copies of almost all
of the pre-EQMM versions. Unfortunately, now I have hit a
wall and cannot find the first versions of four stories. I
need the help of RARA-AVIS readers.
I
will gladly pay $100 each for Xerox copies of any of these
four Hammett appearances:
. "The Barber and His Wife" (Brief Stories, December
1922)
. "The Sardonic Star of Tom Doody" (Brief Stories, February
1923)
. "Laughing Masks" (Action Stories, November 1923)
. "Itchy" (Brief Stories, January 1924)
I
do not need the magazines themselves. Photocopies will meet
my needs just as well.
Would
any Rara-Avians be able to provide Xerox copies of any of
these stories? Or would you please help me locate a collector
or dealer who might? Thank you.

Great news! You can't tell us that and not give us the 21
stories, though. What'll be included?
