A Quick Note....
We have just learned that The Last Talk With Lola Faye by Thomas H. Cook is in its second printing. Great news for Tom, but not for The Mysterious Bookshop. This was to be our September Selection for The Crime Collectors Club, so this note most directly affects you. We are working to get a suitable replacement for this selection and I will be in touch with The Crime Club about this. We are also working on getting some first editions which Tom will be happy to sign. If we are successful, we’ll offer them in the weekly update on a first come, first served basis. Sorry about that.
A Question
Max Allan Collins has contacted us to ask if we would like him to sign copies of The Big Bang, the last Mike Hammer novel Max completed from a manuscript by Mickey Spillane.
We would love to do this, but because the book is a few months old, we do not want to send him too many, or too few, books. Max has graciously said he would sign however many we want.
So please let me know if you’d like a signed copy of this title. We still have first editions. $25.00
