I'm just back from a couple of charity sales and picked up a
copy of Transgressions a PB edited by Ed McBain that was
published in 2006. Priced at $7.99, $10.99 Canadian. It has
the novellas Merely Hate by McBain, Walking The Line by
Walter Mosley and Walking Around Money by Donald Westlake.
The three novellas along with others published in PB volumes
were previously published in a single-volume hardcover
edition in 2005.
Also picked up Westlake's The Curious Facts Preceding My
Execution and Other Fictions and Lawrence Block's Me Tanner,
You Jane. I left several Blocks there, but maybe I should go
back and pick them up at 5 for $1.00 now that I arrived home
to discover Nov. & Dec. are Block months.
