SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
THE FIRST RULE
By Robert Crais
LIMITED SIGNED EDITION
We are happy to tell you that we will be publishing a limited edition of
Robert Crais’ new book, The First Rule.
This will be the ‘true first edition’ since it will be published in December
(the trade edition of The First Rule is coming out in January and will still be
the main selection of The Crime Collector’s Club).
The Limited Edition will be published two ways: There will be 100 signed and
numbered editions and 26 lettered editions.
Numbered Editions will be published in blue boards and will cost $150.00
Lettered Editions will be published in red boards and will cost $275.00
We’re excited about this limited edition because it comes on the heels of
The Lineup which was published in the same handsome format and which sold
out very quickly. We are also hoping that this will be the first (or is the
second? ) of several limited editions we would like to offer in this
format.
Crime Club Members: This limited edition is being offered in addition to the
trade edition which members of The Crime Collectors’ Club will receive
automatically. If that presents any problem, please contact me
(Sally).
Reserve your copy today! Supplies are limited :) :)
Colum McCann has won the prestigious National Book Award for

jacket.
As bizarre as it seems, this showed up on Google Alert on Wednesday, Oct. 28

request.
Whodunit? Houdini? By Otto Penzler, Editor. Harper & Row, NY. 1976.
Review by Mike Tooney
This is an anthology of thirteen mystery stories dealing with the common
theme of magic; yet this is not a book of fantasy. While magic is central to
each story, the solutions (with one exception) are as down-to-earth as one could
hope for (the exception, by John Collier, of course being sui
generis).
The authors of Whodunit? Houdini? Include Clayton Rawson,
Carter Dickson, Frederick Irving Anderson, William Irish, Walter B. Gibson,
Stanley Ellin, and Erle Stanley Gardner: an impressive representation
of some of pulp fiction’s greatest practitioners. For that reason alone the book
is worth seeking out.

OUR FOURTH ANNIVERSARY - at this location!
Time to party!!
Please join us.
Please Note
Our newsletter lists the November selection for the British Crime Club
as A Quiet Belief in Angels by R.J. Ellory. This is
incorrect. That title was published as a paperback original two years ago in
England and is just being published here in hardcover. We do have signed copies.
Our November selection for the British Crime Club is R.J. Ellory’s latest
book, The Anniversary Man.
Last week I told you about The Dark Page II: Books That Inspired Film
Noir which covers the years 1950-1965.
We also have more copies of The Dark Page I.. This covers the years
1940-1949.
Both volumes are $95.00 and would make wonderful presents this holiday season
- especially for you.
