Well, they've just racked up another 30 copies sold from me; thanks for the heads up!
Police procedurals aren't really my thing, but I figure that since McBain's apparently had such huge influence on the field (a number of mystery authors I like gave him props on that Amazon feature page), at 99 cents a pop I might as well. Especially since the pre-order pricing on the future releases is $7.99 per.
Also, "literary historiography" sounds so pretentious, but it'll be interesting to see how the style of these develops over the decades and some of the samples had author's notes giving the story behind how/why a few of the books were written, which is something I'm a sucker for anyway.
I had to buy another gift card to pad my account (which I do anyway, since any glitch 1-click-and-returns lose out on the currency conversion if I have it CC-only) and the nice thing about GC purchases is that you can keep track of them by looking at the deductions from your Gift Card balance. Helps me distinguish what I actually paid real money for from all the freebies over at Amazon.
Incidentally, the titles not available in Canada, for those who regularly cross-border shop and might want to try again later after making the appropriate arrangements are:
Con Man; Mugger; King's Ransom; Lullaby; Kiss
