I have the following mystery, detective, espionage, and police
procedural books for sale; all are paperback unless otherwise noted
(HB/C means hardback with original dustcover; HB means hardback without
original dust cover; OPB means oversized paperback; ppr means
paperback).  All books are priced, with postage additional when
applicable. 

A slightly more photogenic listing of these and other books I have for
sale is on the World-Wide Web at:

    http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~db0s/PPM.html

The "grade" after the price is the overall condition of the book:

                    A    Essentially new
                    A-   Essentially new except for yellowing pages
                         or very minor cover dings
                    B    Cosmetic flaws to spine and/or cover (creasing,
                         dinging, etc).  Both spine and cover are
                         otherwise strong and intact.
                    C    Though spine and cover are still strong &
                         intact, creasing, dinging, etc. make this
                         a "reading" copy
