JOHN HARVEY BOOKS

Check out this great deal from the extraordinary John Harvey who, if you haven't been reading, may well be the finest writer of crime fiction in the U.K. I've loved his books ever since I discovered him because ofElmore Leonard's blurb comparing him to Graham Greene, though in different genres (espionage for Greene, police novels for Harvey). He is a big best-seller in the U.K. but still not as well-known here in spite of the efforts of his brilliant publisher (ah, that would be me). Anyway, he has decided to move out some of his books and benefit a worthwhile organization, so this is your chance to get some great books directly from him.
Please note that you can't order books from The Mysterious Bookshop. Well, of course you can, but not THESE books. This is a deal strictly between you and John Harvey.

Okay, here’s the deal. Fill the gaps on your shelves and make more space on mine - and ALL the money goes to Medecin Sans Frontiers. *


Let me know which books you want, making it clear, if there’s a choice, which edition you prefer. Send me a cheque for the correct amount, made out to Medecin Sans Frontiers, and as soon as it arrives, I’ll send the cheque to them and the book(s) to you, covering the cost of postage myself. How’s that?

NB Sorry, no credit cards!
