| LB’S BOOKSTORE |
Sometimes I
wind up with more copies of a book than I require. (Other times I
come up short, and have to hunt around and pay premium prices for
copies of my own works. I hate it when that happens. . .)
I have a fairly good supply of most of the titles
listed here, except as noted, and will fill orders as long as they
last. Because I don’t have a finger on the pulse of the
antiquarian book market, I’ll leave it to you to determine whether
the prices represent a genuine steal or, uh, highway robbery.
All books will be autographed. No personal
inscriptions, though, and no autographs on the audio books. This
section will be updated frequently, with books delisted as they sell
out and others added as they come available.

CLEVELAND IN MY DREAMS DVD |

LB's short story, Cleveland in My Dreams (found in
Enough Rope) brought to life

the screen. The resulting 29-minute film won the prize as
Best Comedy Film at the 2005 Route 66 Film Festival, and has
garnered honors at other festivals as well. In addition to
the film, the DVD includes filmmakers' commentary,
production stills, trailers, and more. Signed by LB on the

BREAK WRITER'S BLOCK NOW!
I normally offer only my own work here, but I've made
an exception for one of the most useful books ever written
for writers. Jerrold Mundis's 90-page hardcover book,
out of print since its 1991 publication, offers a system
for ending writer's block that, remarkably enough, actually
works. I bought the publisher's overstock, and can supply
these as long as they last. For anyone who ever has
trouble putting words on the page---professional writers,
wannabes, and everyone in between, along with grad students
who can't get their theses written, execs who get bogged
down in corporate reports, lawyers who get stalled writing
briefs, and . . .well, you know who you are.

The most popular of my writing books, published by
Arbor House in 1981. The book's still in print in a
$12 trade paperback edition from Morrow Quill, with
a new introduction by Sue Grafton, and that's the one
to buy if you need a reading copy. But if what you want
is the hardcover first edition, well, this is it. I
think it's a genuinely scarce book---I rarely see it
on dealers' lists, and hardly ever at signings---but
I have a pretty good supply, and can offer signed firsts

A DANCE AT THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE We delisted
this title when we sold the last of our first
editions, but we still have a nice stock of second /
third printings. They're signed hardcover copies,
distinguishable from the firsts only in that they
lack the "1" in the list of numbers on the copyright
page. If having a first printing is important to
you, then that's what you'll have to hunt for; one
of these, however, will
look identical on the shelf, and the price is right.

THE
BURGLAR WHO SMELLED SMOKE.
This Bernie Rhodenbarr short story, by Lynne
Wood Block and Lawrence Block, was written
for the anthology Till Death Do Us Part, and
first published in Mary Higgins Clark's
Mystery Magazine, where it appeared as a
special pamphlet bound into the magazine.
The editors were kind enough to send us the
overrun of the pamphlets, and we are now
making them available to collectors, signed
by both of the co-authors. "Unique" is an
overused and often misused word, but it
might actually apply here---and the price is
only $10. |

Set in Charleston, South Carolina, this novel about
a spooky adopted child was first published in 1980 by
Arbor House. In 1996, G&G Books brought out a limited
edition under the imprint of The Lawrence Block Library.
The total press run ran to 500 signed and numbered copies,
26 lettered copies, and a dozen A/P author's copies.
While it's not the first hardcover edition (the Arbor
House book was hardcover) it's nicely printed and bound,
and includes an author's afterword written especially
for this edition. And, obviously, there aren't too many
of them around. I have a fairly good supply of signed
and numbered copies at $50.

Originally published as a Gold Medal
pb in 1969, this book was very deliberately designed to
be the first in an action-adventure series. The heroes
are five former Green Berets who pull military-style
capers in aid of Truth, Justice, and the American Way. I
wrote the one book and found out that, though this is a
kind of book I like to read, it wasn't one I liked to
write. So I pulled the plug on the enterprise, much to
the surprise of my agent, who kept saying he thought
this was going to be the first of a series. (I finally
told him I didn't see any reason why he and I couldn't
think of it as a one-book series. I don't know that that
made him happy, but it kept him quiet.) The book had a
couple of paperback editions, but never appeared in
hardcover in the US until 1996, when James Cahill
brought it out with art by Phil Parks, along with a new
afterword. He had distribution problems, however, and
wound up paying me off in copies. I thought I'd own the
little darlings forever, but they got such a warm
reception on tour that I sold out all I had and wound up
buying the publisher's entire remaining stock. The books
are in mint condition. The original retail price is $25,
and I've seen the book on E-bay for twice that, but
we're able to offer them for the original price of $25.
And for that price you're not merely getting an
autographed copy of a hardcover first edition---you're
getting a complete series!

KELLER PAPERBACKS
A set of the first three Keller novels to complement
the philatelic edition of Hit and Run.
These are signed,
and will include a philatelic enhancement;
each book will bear the appropriate stamp (1¢, 2¢,
or 3¢) from the 1938 Presidential series, each
canceled by a special Keller cancellation. Keller
had these stamps in his boyhood collection; that's
how he learned to name the presidents in order.

EVEN THE WICKED - UK FIRST This is the true
first edition of the book,
having been published in 1996. (The US edition came
out in 1997.) The printing
was very small---we've heard numbers ranging from
500 to 1500---and most copies
seem to have gone to provincial libraries, so the
book's genuinely rare. We saw
this priced in London as high as £250. We have mint
copies, signed by Lawrence

AFTER HOURS Back in the mid-nineties I did a
book with Ernie Bulow, small-press publisher and
Indian trader of Gallup, New Mexico. It consisted of
transcriptions of interviews he did with me, and
University of New Mexico Press published it in 1995
with our joint byline. Ernie was not born to
interview, nor was I born to be interviewed, and the
result is probably a little stiff, but not entirely
without interest. UNM Press was thrilled when I was
able to tell them the book won the Nevermore award;
what I forbore to tell them was that it was given
for Worst Cover Art of the Year. Have to say it was
well deserved. My photo on the jacket is the worst
picture I've ever taken, and that covers a lot of
bumpy ground. Ernie took the picture, so that's
another career he'd be best advised not to pursue. I
rarely see copies of this title, and mine have
reposed in warehouse cartons ever since I received
them. Time to let them go at

Call them what you will,
they're the advance look publishers provide for
early reviewers, or to build enthusiasm among
booksellers, or simply to look as if they're making
an effort. I can remember when they were called BOMs,
because they were produced primarily for submission
to Book-of-the-Month Club, and for nostalgia's sake
that's how we're coding them. They were also roundly
despised in the aftermarket, and you'd see them on
the 25¢ table at the Strand. Then somebody decided
they were collectible, and some of them go for more
than the book's first edition. I offered a ton of
them in an email newsletter a few years ago and you
cleaned me out. I guess my prices were too low.
Well, these aren't much higher, so maybe you can
snag a bargain. Some of these are unadorned
old-fashioned bound galleys, while others are quite
nicely produced; for all I know, the plain ones are
rarer and more valuable. Have fun.
Oh, before I forget. I know an author who refuses to
sign galleys. I'm not proud. I'll sign these. |

READING COPIES
Most of my books are pretty widely available, but
sometimes a title may be hard to find. If you're
just looking for a copy to read, and you can't find
it elsewhere, we may have it here in this section,
and at a flat $5 bargain
price. The edition we ship depends on
what we've got on hand---sometimes a hurt hardcover
copy, sometimes a large-format UK paperback,
sometimes a US mass-market paperback. As usual, all
books come autographed.
