It's a curious thing that even in Montreal these aren't to be found. There's always the internet, I suppose, but I do love the thrill of the chase.Brian Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120341319506205062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747768554703669866.post-78181860592451511572015-04-12T21:42:02.860-04:002015-04-12T21:42:02.860-04:00I love Karen Black as well--FIVE EASY PIECES!

Those covers, whether accurate to the novel itself or not, are quite striking. I really do need to own a copy of the Popular Library edition!Will Erricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285306262078600804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747768554703669866.post-40756830504763939212011-06-03T15:17:07.379-04:002011-06-03T15:17:07.379-04:00I just saw the movie for a second time myself - I&...I just saw the movie for a second time myself - I'm betting within days of you.

The very same blinds, but Elizabeth Lucy is gone. What's more, Phillips is faithful to the novel.<br /><br />The last was part of a uniform series that featured Buell's five novels. Who knows what the print runs were - I don't think I saw more than one or two, despite living in Montreal at the time.Brian Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120341319506205062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747768554703669866.post-35023140405738827772011-05-29T12:41:53.378-04:002011-05-29T12:41:53.378-04:00The first one has art work by Barye Phillips, a pr...The first one has art work by Barye Phillips, a prolific cover artist for Gold Medal and other US paperback publishers. I agree it's best one. There's something intriguing and subtly sinister about the last one with that shadow of the gent in the hat.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.com
