THE BURGLAR WHO COUNTED THE SPOONS by Lawrence Block. The eleventh book about the burglar/bookseller, and the first in almost a decade. Ever since The Burglar on the Prowl climbed the bestseller lists in 2004, fans have been clamoring for a new book featuring the lighthearted and lightfingered Bernie Rhodenbarr. Now everybody's favorite burglar returns in an eleventh adventure that finds him and his lesbian sidekick Carolyn Kaiser breaking into houses, apartments, and even a museum, in a madcap adventure replete with American Colonial silver, an F. Scott Fitzgerald manuscript, a priceless portrait, and a remarkable array of buttons. And, wouldn't you know it, there's a dead body, all stretched out on a Trent Barling carpet...

This. the book's only hardcover edition, is a quality production of small-press printer G&H Soho. Each of 1000 copies is signed and serially numbered by the author, and enhanced on the limitation page with a genuine Personal Postage stamp showing the cover art, and tied to the page with a custom cancel. The book is bound in deep green faux leather and stamped in gold, with the cover art tipped on. The text is printed on 80# Mohawk paper.

The book's other editions—eBook and trade paperback—are available for pre-order at Amazon, with a release date of December 25, 2013. This hardcover limited edition, the book's true first edition, should ship to customers somewhat earlier in the month, depending when final copies are received from the printer. While we cannot guarantee delivery by Christmas, we're hopeful.

Serial numbers are assigned immediately upon receipt of orders. When PayPal notifies us that your payment has been received, we'll email you to let confirm that we have your order on file, and to let you know what your book's serial number will be. And we'll ship your book as soon as we can—by USPS Priority Mail.
