Hi!
FR> JM> And here's another new wrinkle that has cropped up -- a

FR> JM> mystery hardcovers in trade anymore.  Zilch.  Nada.  So if
FR> JM> the book is out of print, and you want the hardcover, you
FR> JM> shop somewhere else or do without.
FR> JM>
FR> JM> Why they don't take them, I don't know.  Do mystery fans
FR> JM> buy fewer used hardcovers than other used book buyers?
FR>I find that is true for all sorts of hardback fiction, not just mysteries.
FR>The usedbook stores now will take only out-of-print or old hb, or new ones
FR>if the pb versions haven't come out yet.  Once the pb version appears on
FR>the stands, the stores here won't take the hb versions.
This doesn't seem to be true in Boulder County, Colorado.  "New" HBs are
moving briskly in the used BS I go to.
Best,
