Obsessed with genre fiction book covers. Occasional author interviews and bursts of short fiction. Though not a bookseller, I draw inspiration from this quote: "The book salesman should be honored because he brings to our attention, as a rule, the very books we need most and neglect most."
I realize this dates me but I watched the mini-series of Dashiell Hammett’s THE DAIN CURSE when it first aired on TV in 1978. I was kid then, and the plot was a muddle. Enjoyed the book, though.
James Coburn played The Continental Op, who is nameless in all the stories but named here.

I’d never even heard of this mini-series. Damn. Must find it now.
