After reading this, I trotted up to my son's room to check
his bookcase. When I was but a wee squirt, I read all the
Hardy Boys books, and when I'd exhausted those I started
reading the Three Investigator Series. Got an early start on
mysteries, like a lot of us, I suppose. Anyway, I ran across
all my books in an old box in my parents' attic a few years
back, and gave them to my son. He's in college now, but the
books were still in his bookcase. Darned if I don't have two
or three William Arden (Dennis Lynds) titles in there.
Probably first editions, since I'd buy these books as soon as
they hit the stores. I could kick myself, because Dennis was
at Bouchercon and I had the opportunity to talk with him
briefly. Would have been nice to have the books along to get
some autographs. Might be fun to read them again... R
