Well, I finished Butcher’s Moon. It started a bit slower than most of the books, but it probably had the best conclusion of any that I read. It’s interesting the first part of the book is like The Hunter with Parker (and Grofield) tracking down Parker’s money, but the second is like The Outfit with a bunch of freelancers making war on the Mob.

Eyeballing the prices at Advanced Book Exchange, I think they’ve already dropped. Still costs a pretty penny, though.

I meant, of course, that I wondered what the new edition will do TO THE PRICES of all those old copies.

I wonder that the University of Chicago Press edition is going to do to all those copies that have been selling for absurdly high prices on ABE Books for years. I bet more than one dealer is wishing he’d sold his copy a couple of years ago.

A reader was kind enough to send me a nice scan of the English version, but I’d still love the German version (assuming it’s different).

Manuel:

That would be great! It’s probably impossible, but eventually I’d like to have images of every Parker cover, including non-English editions. I’ll happily take the back, too, if it’s not too much trouble.

There is an acceptable picture of the Mysterious Press edition on Abebooks. Not to big, but clean. I could also offer a bigger version of the German edition, with backside if required.

By the way, great story about the mourners.

Unless plans change,they won’t be reprinting the Grofield novels.

That is awesome news!

Now if they can only get the rights to the Grofield novels as well…boy those are expensive and hard to find.
