I went to three sales in all, starting Friday morning. I
came away with two real finds;

Dick Francis, Nerve (Harper & Row 1964) book club edition,
near fine (bookplate of former owner) in a very good- jacket
(two small tears).

Alan Furst, Dark Star (Houghton Mifflin 1991) fine in a fine
dust jacket, no marks.
