I plan on buying the gutter and grave. And grifter's game for my birthday I just discovered hard case crime so I'm super excited to read and own some of these j love the covers for all of them

[@JulesBurt]

For sure, the covers are worth the price of admission alone👍

[@teenagefc]

Can certainly hear the enthusiasm in your voice of finding a new line of books to collect. Great saucy covers on them too!

[@JulesBurt]

It's true, I've neglected these too long! Only about 140 to track down, lol 🙂

[@alvinmarcus5780]

And thanks for taking the time and effort to put together the list of all the Hard Case books. 😀

[@JulesBurt]

My pleasure Alvin!👍🙂

Jules, great video on a terrific series. I had Charles Ardai as a guest at my nyc pb shows years ago and it was great to meet him and some of his writers like Jason Starr, those were good old days! I love this series and collect them as well. In my opinion a real sleeper in the series is the Allan Guthrie book, a terrific writer! Also the Bruin and Starr books such a Bust, are great fun to read. Cheers.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Gary, I'll keep an eye out for those recommendations. I have about half the series so far and have really enjoyed what I've read. The covers are really terrific too🙂

Great video Jules. Started collecting the HCC books this past year myself. Great reads.

[@JulesBurt]

They certainly are, such great books🙂

I recently read 'Little Girl Lost' by the bloke that runs Hard Case Crime. Decent yarn. Didn't hold it against him for rejecting my offering a few months earlier. Anyway, I got it placed not long after. I aim to buy several of this series. My only criticism was that the cover of Aleas's novel had to be handled carefully or the pages felt like they were going to come out. Something I cannot abide as I, too, like to keep my books in good condition. I am at the stage of agreeing a cover for my book, set in Tokyo in 1990, and I favour a cover showing the femme fatale off in all her glory against a neon-infested Shinjuku Kabukicho backdrop. Very interesting video. I have subscribed.

[@JulesBurt]

Brilliant news that you got your book accepted, well done. Glad you've this video👍🙂

I too , am a huge fan and collector of Hard Case Crime Books !! My first was " Dutch Uncle " by Peter Pavia !! I have all of the smaller sized books , and many of the trade paperback editions as well !! I even have a few extras !!

[@JulesBurt]

Fantastic stuff. They are truly great and I'm very much enjoying what I've been reading so far😀 I'm jealous of your collection!

[@thesilencer1969]

@@JulesBurt I was a member of the Hard Case Crime Book Club , so I had the new books delivered to mu house !! ( At first , I received two books per month , then they dropped it to one when they decreased their workload !! )

I enjoy the Hard Case Crime books, excellent reads. Grifter's Game, Little Lost Girl, and the Confession have been my favorites so far. I have 50+ titles (with a couple of doubles because I don't have a check list 😜) Michael Crichton also wrote Eaters of the Dead (the movie the 13th Warrior) and Timeline (also a movie) but they're not the type of stories published by HCC, are they among the 8 books you referred to ?

[@JulesBurt]

Hi Erik, I'm jealous of your 50! I have about another 20 or so on the way in a nice job lot🙂 checklist in the description now🙂 I don't think those Michael Crichton are published by HCC yet.

[@davejanes8091]

The Hard Case Crime Wikipedia page has a list of HCC books, in order.

[@JulesBurt]

It does, sadly not very user/collector friendly. But I'm on the case, the hard case that is. I'll have a handy checklist soon🙂

[@alvinmarcus5780]

Oh no, something else that I want to get. Guess I'll start robbing banks to feed my book addiction. 😂 Thanks for another awesome video J.

[@JulesBurt]

Cheers Alvin, these really are very nicely done books.🙂 Sorry to keep giving you different ways to spend your money 👍

[@thekeywitness]

Actually HCC was founded in 2004.

[@JulesBurt]

Yes, realised later on, shooting in one take, no room for mistakes 😒
