In response to a number of e-mailed queries about the rare Lawrence 
Block book which I have listed on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3570985475&category=29
228


1. Reverse of title page states "First Printing".

2. The photo on the back of the dust-jacket is described (both on the 
back dj flap and on the reverse of the last page of the book in these 
words:

   "LAWRENCE BLOCK, shown on the back jacket pretending to read a filthy 
book to his two innocent children has written several novels under 
various aliases, low ceilings and threats of exposure. He divides his 
time between a New York apartment and a farm in New Jersey, and his 
activities in both places are too nefarious to contemplate. However any 
resemblance between Lawrence Block, author, and Laurence Clarke, hero of 
RONALD RABBIT IS A DIRTY OLD MAN, is entirely."

3. The book's dedication reads:

      For my fa CYNARA shion



Hope this helps,
