I know I'm still supposed to be sore at Amazon.com, but yesterday the cold hard ball of ice in the middle of my heart melted a little when I received an email newsletter from Lawrence Block. Seems that Mr. Block has unleashed a virtual treasury of his work for the Kindle, including a new Kindle-only collection of intros and afterwords called Introducing Myself and Others. It's a fantastic idea, because Block is one of those writers whose intros/outros, etc. are alone worth the price of admission. (The others who come to mind are Harlan Ellison and Jack Ketchum.) This new collection is only $3.98, and includes introductions for books that haven't even been published yet -- namely, forthcoming reprints of Block's early smut pulp novel Campus Tramp and Hellcats & Honey Girls, a collection of three "erotic" novels he co-wrote with Donald E. Westlake.Block's also released other rarities, such as Cinderella Sims, Ronald Rabbit is a Dirty Old Man, and my favorite of the lot, his pulp action thriller The Specialists. All $3.98 each, all highly recommended. My Kindle is officially allowed back in the house.
