Organizing Crime Classics is one of the wonderful books I found at BOUCHERCON in Albany. This handy little volume lists over 3900 titles in over 200 mystery series. The book starts with a listing of all of Edward S. Aarons’ Sam Durell spy novels (all 42 of them) and ends with L. R. Wright’s Karl Alberg series (all 9 books). Sure, you can use Wikipedia for this stuff, but here’s a neat little book of lists that you can carry in the pocket of your jacket or in your purse. The earliest listing is Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes series and latest listing is the Dixie Hemingway series (2005-2012) by Blaize Clement. Organizing Crime Classics just makes the collecting life a little easier. Highly recommended!
Love the cover.
That sounds really worth having. Good one. Sounds like you picked up a lot of goodies at the con.
Patti, ORGANIZING CRIME CLASSICS provides those handy lists that most mystery readers would appreciate. And I like the cover, too!
You would love ORGANIZING CRIME CLASSICS, Jeff. I wouldn’t go into a used bookstore without it!
It’s the same type of thing as DETECTING WOMEN and DETECTING MEN, which listed series, in order, by female and male writers, with check boxes for what you have, need, etc. There were both full sized and pocket editions. I have ’em. When was this published?
Rick, ORGANIZING CRIME CLASSICS was published in 2012.
