A Mystery, Crime & Noir Notebook

A MYSTERY, CRIME & NOIR NOTEBOOK

This book is a compilation of almost 50 articles written over a period of 40 years by noted collector/author/publisher Gary Lovisi. They include topics about some of his favorite books in the mystery, crime and noir genres. Many of these books are found only in scarce paperback editions.

All of the articles in this book have been published previously in a variety of venues. Each article has been substantially rewritten-expanded and updated from their original appearance for this special Stark House edition. A Mystery, Crime & Noir Notebook is a celebration of these wonderful books and their talented authors, many of whom Gary Lovisi knows-or knew-personally.

Accompanying most of these articles is a sampling of some of the classic era book covers. This is Gary Lovisi's loving memoir to all the authors and books that he's enjoyed reading over the years. We hope you'll enjoy taking the trip with him.
