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."
Six-volume Ballantine paperback set of Sherlock Holmes stories, 1975. ($1.25 each; original boxed set price unknown.)
Featured essays by mystery writers of the day.
This is the set I had as a kid. I love the cover art—and the titles.
You can still buy them used online. See link.
