I am interested in Arthur Lyons, but I cannot remember where I heard of him. I just looked him up and now I am even more interested... so thanks.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-83805260360416777472015-02-10T03:10:50.605-08:002015-02-10T03:10:50.605-08:00I think there's a bit of a blurb from Stephen ...I think there's a bit of a blurb from Stephen Fry on the back cover of the Bonfiglioli which also helped sell it to me - that and the 50p price tag! Throw across the room loathing - I ought to move it up the pile then! I'll check out the Depp film, though I'm not a massive fan TBH. col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-24913329804484381192015-02-10T02:16:43.952-08:002015-02-10T02:16:43.952-08:00You certainly mix them up Col, that's a very v...You certainly mix them up Col, that's a very varied selection. A Kyril Bonfiglioli book has just been turned into a film starring Johnny Depp - it got terrible reviews. I tried one of the books years ago, and absolutely hated it: throw-across-the-room hated it. Of course you may love him!Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-42801247286241800312015-02-09T07:19:57.061-08:002015-02-09T07:19:57.061-08:00Happy viewing!

I'd be more surprised if we had the same edition I think!<br /><br />YURICK - I just looked up - Jewish writer from New York, now deceased. Had about 5 or 6 novels out - THE WARRIORS was from the mid-60's and was released as a motion picture in 1979. I absolutely love the film......gangs, violence, friendships, betrayal, teenage hoods...my cup of tea!col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-34439752425835872502015-02-09T06:22:47.728-08:002015-02-09T06:22:47.728-08:00Col, I have a paperback of A WALK IN THE TOMBSTONE...Col, I have a paperback of A WALK IN THE TOMBSTONE but not with the same cover. Mine is white/off-white though I don't remember what's on the cover. I'm curious about THE WARRIORS as I have never heard of the author.Prashant C.

And I really do hope you'll enjoy the Dalziel and Pascoe novels. To me, that's a terrific police procedural series. The Dibdins are good, too, in my opinion. Oh, and I like that title: <i>Something Nasty in the Woodshed</i>...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
