I have a copy of one of the recent Pelecanos' novels inscribed to me, but I wouldn't mind to have this one also.

I used to see his books everywhere and could have had fantastic copies of everything. Back then I didn't think of myself as a Washingtonian and stupidly dismissed his work. On the other hand, I have a fantastic collection of John Harvey first editions - many in both English and American editions. And why I should be so drawn to Nottingham, I will never know but Harvey's books are excellent. I am glad this association copy of Right as Rain is in your collection because I couldn't handle having it here, mocking me.Book Gluttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569975755798562829noreply@blogger.com
