    Cannot remember title of thriller?!

    The first book that comes to mind is Blue by Abigail Padgett. "Blue McCarron, the savvy, gay social psychologist with a yen for crime detection, is captivated by the bizarre case of Beatrice "Muffin" Crandall, a proper grande dame of 72 who has just confessed to murdering a man, chopping him...

    I think the book you are looking for is one of the Deverry novels by Katharine Kerr. Maybe it's The Fire Dragon: Book 3 of the Dragon Mage.

    Stupid question, but I really don't know...

    The short answer: in the United States, a trade paperback is somewhere in between a paperback and a hardback in size, price, and paper quality. Trade paperbacks are (apparently) not marketed in Europe, so most Europeans don't know what they are. The long answer: Why Size Matters...

    Suggestions Needed: Humorous Children's Fictions.

    I would like to suggest the "Hank The Cowdog" series by John R. Erickson. The first book in the series is Hank the Cowdog #1. The Original Adventures of Hank the Cowdog. It's about a dumb-as-dirt West Texas cowdog who is constantly getting into trouble. "Hank the Cowdog leads a...

    Ian Fleming Casino Royale 1968 Edition

    Maybe not. It would take some time for each edition of this book to sell out, so it might have been after 1971 for the 10th edition to be printed. The publisher may have only changed the price on the dust jacket. You might try looking on abebooks.com or even google.com with the name...

    Could it be this book or this series? I haven't read these books, and I can't find a review that mentions the details you listed, but the title and the time period seem to match. If not, I will look some more. "The Starchild Trilogy is a series of three books written by Frederik Pohl...

    What would you recommend for a christmas present?

    How about a gift card? Or taking them out to eat? If you have a quasi-impersonal relationship with your work colleagues, then don't worry about finding them the perfect Christmas gift. Just give them a quasi-impersonal gift and cross that chore off your list. Christmas should be more about...

    Need the name of...

    I think that was probably a business decision by the publisher. I can remember only a few novellas published as a single book, and those are by famous best-selling authors. So, two novellas published together in the same book would make a (skimpy) book that might be bought by fans of both...
