 SW> Well, I've gone all retro and picked up Frances and Richard
 SW> Lockridge's DEAD AS A DINOSAUR, from 1952.  A book-club copy came into
 SW> the  bookstore, and while I was brodarting the remnants of the dust
 SW> jacket, I  read the blurb and it sounded interesting enough that I
 SW> thought to give it  a try.  The Lockridges use a husband-and-wife
 SW> detective team, Jerry and  Pam North.  Jerry's an editor for a New York
 SW> publisher, and far's I can  make out, Pam is a sort of Nora Charles
 SW> type--at least, I don't see her  engaged in any outside-the-home
 SW> employment.  I dunno yet whether I'm gonna  care for the story, in
 SW> which a paleozoologist (say that three times fast)  winds up with an
 SW> overdose of phenobarb in his evening glass of warm milk.   Right now,
 SW> the Norths are swanning around the relatives while expressing  vague
 SW> "something-isn't-right-here" noises to themselves, and using as a
 SW> cover story that the Prof died owing Jerry a manuscript for his next
 SW> book,  and Jerry is trying to work out whether a ghost can finish up
 SW> the book, or  if it's publishable as is, or if it's a write-off, so to
 SW> speak.
 SW> Letcha know what I thought of it once I'm done.
Please do. You work/own a used book store? I convinced the owner of our
store to let us start doing some used books as an experiment.
