Sometimes that is what I look for though.fredamanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12445217103291725907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-40744409032382949932014-01-09T18:39:25.349-05:002014-01-09T18:39:25.349-05:00John: I got The Skeleton in the Clock mapback at t...John: I got The Skeleton in the Clock mapback at that delightful used bookshop in Virden, Illinois (that we discovered on our Route 66 trip). Just one of the many treasures I've brought home from there.<br /><br />Sergio: I did enjoy it. I was interested to find reviews out on the interwebs indicating that this isn't considered very good--it's not one of the absolute best, but I thought it a very good read.Bev Hankinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127476456755776574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-39744377971110389452014-01-09T17:25:12.512-05:002014-01-09T17:25:12.512-05:00Great stuff Bev - I just love Carr / Dickson anywa...Great stuff Bev - I just love Carr / Dickson anyway and simply must re-read this now - thanks.

After learning about the Dell mapbacks in MURDER INK I wanted to start collecting them. I was 15 and I bought it via mail order from an ad in the back of <i>Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine</i>. Look what it did to me! I now own close to 3000 books (probably more), including three boxes of Mapbacks.<br /><br />I can't remember reading <i>The Skeleton in the Clock</i> (even after reading your review), but I'm sure I did.<br /><br />(Deleted the previous comment due to a mess of typos)J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.com
