At the 1983 Bouchercon, where JDM was given the Lifetime
Achievement Award, he was interviewed by Ballantine Books.
Although the tape I had of that interview has been lost I
remember showing it to my mystery fiction classes. In that
tape JDM related the story of how the idea of colors came to
be used. He used airport bookstalls as an example, saying
that it was very easy for a hurried traveler to pick out a
McGee he hadn't read.
