Winnipeg's annual Children's Hospital Book Market started
last Thursday and runs until Saturday. It is usually a great
place to find old PBs priced at
.35 if condition isn't a major concern. Unfortunately, this
year the Guild that runs the market relocated its dropoff and
pricing depot over the summer so lost about three months of
pricing and the number of books for sale is down. The sale
attracts dealers from the Upper Midwest and several
provinces, but there was no sign of several major dealers
this year.
Finished The Shattered Raven by Edward D. Hoch last night.
It's a PBO from 1969 about a murder at the Mystery Writers of
America Edgar Awards Banquet. Many real authors are
mentioned, but the main character is the MWA vice-president
who became a PI after writing a couple of novels. Not hard
boiled.
Along with some Macdonalds, Stouts and Shaynes, I found the
following so let's hear if they are worth reading.
Hit and Run - Richard Deming - Priority (no date) Dial M For
Money - Donald Taggart - Gold Medal 1972 The Art Studio
Murders - Edward S. Aarons - Macfadden 1964 Get Garrity -
Allan Nixon - Avon 1969 I Found Him Dead - Gale Gallagher -
Collier 1962
