The latest issue of Crime Time, which recently arrived from
England, has two articles and an interview with Eddie Bunker.
I haven't checked the website, which I think is still "under
construction" to see if any of the material is there. Our
10-day Children's Hospital Book Market is winding down this
weekend, but the hunt continues. All of the U.S. dealers who
were here last Thursday for opening day have gone home.
Grabbed a .50 copy of Chandler's The High Window plus a 1948
first printing of More Deaths Than One by Bruno Fischer for
.35 each (Canadian). Anyone know anything about the Fischer?
A first of Ross Macdonald's My Name is Archer is still
available for $35.00 Canadian, but I am not tempted. I am
also looking for John D. MacDonald to fill out my collection,
but no luck.
Finished Frisco Blues by Gordon DeMarco last night. This is a
hardboiled baseball novel that I mentioned during the recent
discussion. It's set in 1947 and Demarco tries too hard to
capture the PI of that day. I wouldn't hunt it down.
