About my libraryMostly mystery and detective fiction. Lots of religion, linguistics, and scifi in the basement. Kid's books are down the hall. I'm fond of older mysteries, anything written before I was born. High points of my collection are three shelves of Dell Mapbacks, a lot of Doubleday Crime Club editions, a decent Jacques Futrelle collection, and a pretty darn good Lawrence Block (132 volume) collection. I also have shelves/sections dedicated to Ellery Queen, Fredric Brown, Evan Hunter/Ed McBain, H.C. Bailey, and R. Austin Freeman.

Hello,
Looking at your Crippen & Landru books I see you have them in as Crippen&Landru,which seems to connect up as Crippen only. (if you follow me) As I seem to be the only other bod who has a tag as Crippen & Landru I wonder if you would consider linking these two together.
If so,thanks in advance.
Hello, I'm new to LibraryThing and have just started to make entries. Noticed that you have [Hidden Ways] by [[Frederic F. Van De Water]] listed as [[Water, Van De]]. Thought you might want to know. Thanks, gordon529.
Thanks for the linkage, I'm flattered. Glad you enjoyed the photo, and thank you for letting me know.

The Doubles were common as dirt when I was a kid, I'm sort of surprised that they aren't more common on LT.

(I should probably get myself a Real Digital Camera and re-do that snapshot with some more resolution.)
That's really helpful, thank you!
Hi, nice to meet you.
As an Oz fan yourself, you already know that not all of the books written after Baum's death were released by Dover Books of Wonder. I am currently shopping around for alternative editions that are as nice as Dover. I picked a title to seek out at random, that being The Shaggy Man of Oz and you've got it in an edition that's aesthetically appealing and is not a mass market, I'm guessing. Could you please tell me who released that one?
Thanks!
Eliza
I love the book lifts that you made, great idea! Thanks for sharing.
Greetings Steve. Thanks for your interest in my library. I thought we might eventually "meet", especially as I've been rummaging in your shelves for ideas--The Crime Club Compendium is at the top of my "must haves" list. I'm sure that our shared titles list will be added to considerably, especially as I'm only up to "K" (just added some Henry Kane scans). This is certainly taking longer than I expected. We'll have lots of matches with Queen , McBain, Three Investigaors et al. As to the "Harry Vincent" moniker--spot on! I just as easily could have beeen "Roger Sheringham" or "Philo Vance"...
