KELLER'S A HIT MAN. AND HE'S ALSO A STAMP COLLECTOR.
Back in 1998, Keller made his mark in crime fiction in Hit Man, and by the book's final chapters he was ready to retire. To enliven his retirement, he returned to his boyhood hobby of stamp collecting. And boy, did it cut into his retirement fund... So he's gone on working, in Hit List and Hit Parade and Hit & Run, winning new fans in each adventure—and developing an outstanding stamp collection in the process. And now, to mark the publication of HIT ME (Keller #5), the Mysterious Bookshop and author Lawrence Block have joined forces to produce a special limited Philatelic First Edition of the new novel. The specifics: The Philatelic Edition consists of 500 serially-numbered and signed copies, produced by a small press with binding and paper stock superior to the trade edition. Affixed to each book's limitation page, and custom-canceled with a "Keller Cancel," is a genuine private postage stamp showing the book's cover—and valid as United States Postage. This is the book's true first edition; it came off-press in December, 2012, two months before the Mulholland Books trade edition. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE... Every purchaser of the HIT ME Philatelic Edition also receives two copies (one mint, one custom-canceled) of the FREE illustrated souvenir sheet, signed by Lawrence Block and showing stamps from the Keller Collection—including the Poor Man's Jenny. The sheet is not available separately, but is included at no charge with the purchase of the book. Price $75. Maximum order: 2 copies per customer. (And yes, you'll get a pair of souvenir sheets with each book.) Check out my other items! ![]() |
