Some of the colleges at the University of Toronto have book
sales in the fall, and I got some good stuff this year:
Edward S. Aarons: ASSIGNMENT--BLACK VIKING;
ASSIGNMENT--HELENE; ASSIGNMENT--SUICIDE; ASSIGNMENT--ZORAYA;
ASSIGNMENT--NUCLEAR NUDE. I don't even really like this
series, but at a buck each, I grabbed them all.
John D. MacDonald: THE DREADFUL LEMON SKY; BARRIER ISLAND;
TIME AND TOMORROW: WINE OF THE DREAMERS / THE GIRL, THE GOLD
WATCH, AND EVERYTHING
/ BALLROOM OF THE SKIES; THE LONELY SILVER RAIN; CINNAMON
SKIN; ONE MORE SUNDAY. Hardcovers.
Joe Gores: GONE, NO FORWARDING
Bill Pronzini: THE STALKER
William F. Nolan: HAMMETT: A LIFE AT THE EDGE
Brett Halliday: THIS IS IT, MICHAEL SHAYNE. The burly
red-headed detective is in hardcover here.
Thomas B. Dewey: ONLY ON TUESDAYS ("but not with this
girl--she was a full-time job"). It's "a new Pete Schofield
sizzler."
Charles Williams: AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA
Rosemary Herbert, ed: THE OXFORD COMPANION TO CRIME AND
MYSTERY WRITING This came out in 1999. Lots of interesting
stuff on all aspects of crime writing. Mr. Crider and Mr.
Greene are among the contributors, and Max Allan Collins did
several entries including the one on Spillane.
Max Allan Collins: MAJIC MAN
All in all, I was pretty pleased. Very good prices on them
all, too. A nice haul.
