I just joined, so I don't know how much traffic this list
gets. If it's
anything like the other mailing list I'm on, this is probably
the first
message in month or two. Here's a question though.
I've been looking at amazon.com for some of the lesser-known
works by my
favorite authors, but I'm running into a lot of out-of-print
stuff. Is
there an online bookstore somewhere that specializes in
hardboiled
fiction? I've only really scratched the surface here:
Chandler,
Hammett, Ross Macdonald, John D. Macdonald, Chester Himes,
and some of
the newer authors like James Ellroy and Andrew Vacchs, etc. I
hope you
all can help me.
Also, I've recently found myself in a position where I have
more time to
do pleasure reading, and I'm looking for some new authors to
pick up.
Based on the above authors I listed, who would you recommend
that I may
not have heard of? It's so difficult to pick up "new" authors
who've
been out of print for 30 years, you know? Anyway, any help
would be
truly appreciated. I look forward to at least one
reply!
Roger
