Some of the other covers were used with different books in here. Whittington is unfortunately a very untranslated author in Finland.<BR/><BR/>There were some Westerns published by Priory. Wasn't that an Israeli outfit and the books were pirated? <BR/><BR/>What about the Serie Noire edition? What year is it? (Did we have this discussion before..?) Maybe someone like Stark House or even Hard Case could publish it in English, if it's not a stinker. (And why would've they published in France, if it was something bad?)Jurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021010310386744591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-1154999585811757072006-08-07T20:13:00.000-05:002006-08-07T20:13:00.000-05:00And in fact, I'm sorry you mentioned it, as I've o...And in fact, I'm sorry you mentioned it, as I've ordered a copy.mybillcriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350478005243505108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-1154999108774202002006-08-07T20:05:00.000-05:002006-08-07T20:05:00.000-05:00That's one of those UK only publications that I do...That's one of those UK only publications that I don't have.

SATURDAY NIGHT TOWN has a nice steamy Florida noir quality, a sort of highly-compressed "Peyton Place" in which every secret spills out during a day rather than the year it takes Metalious to boil her pot.<BR/><BR/>Did I miss AGAINST ALL GODS in the slideshow?

I think you missed the two books by "Harriet Kathryn Myers," PRODIGAL NURSE and SMALL TOWN NURSE.

Life is short, and I might not wade through all 4000 or so pages of plantation novels before I kick that old bucket.<BR/>4.
