It's been ages since I've been to a used bookstore or bumped into a sidewalk or garage sale of books. <br /><br />Looks like you brought home some really good stuff.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-32624402517853901462011-06-12T09:59:03.288-04:002011-06-12T09:59:03.288-04:00@John: Yes, the McCloy titles were what first caug...@John: Yes, the McCloy titles were what first caught my eye. I'm alway on the lookout for her. And Stuart Palmer's Hildegarde Withers is one of my favorites. Although I know the name Roy Vickers, I've never read any of his--so I'm curious to see what those are like.Bev Hankinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127476456755776574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-43750082995861674502011-06-12T08:02:24.853-04:002011-06-12T08:02:24.853-04:00Wonderful haul!

T...Now you have no excuse not to read Helen McCloy. THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY is considered her finest. Nice score! I like buying those Detective Book Club editions when they have really hard to find titles. They are always priced cheaply when I come across one. I bet you got a bagful of bargains. Of the books in that long list you might try before any of the others: FOUR LOST LADIES - Hildegarde Withers is always fun. THE SHADOWY THIRD is the best of the Marco Page books - rare violins and murder. Better than RECLINING FIGURE I'd say. Richard Powell is soft boiled and he likes guns. I don't know SHELL GAME, but it may be one with his husband and wife detective team. Can't remember their names but they're along the lines of Pat Abbott and his wife (Frances Crane books) or the Troys in the books by Kelley Roos.<br /><br />Happy Reading!J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.com
