Ask Eddie

Author and esteemed Turner Classic Movie host of "Noir Alley" Eddie Muller helms a biweekly web show called Ask Eddie, wherein he and cohost Anne Hockens turn their attention to all things noir. Back on the April 14, 2022 episode at the 1:14:00 mark, Muller spoke knowingly and fondly for several minutes about Ross Macdonald. 

As a result, I sent him a copy of It's All One Case, which he acknowledged on yesterday's July 28, 2022 episode at the 1:02:20 mark. Thanks for the kind words, Eddie. 

Name-Dropped #1

Reviewing John Curran's The Hooded Gunman, Martin Edwards, 2020 recipient of the CWA Diamond Dagger, the highest honor in UK crime-writing, had some nice things to say about It's All One Case:

"The Hooded Gunman is a beautifully presented book, crammed with full colour illustrations of dust jackets as well as many photographs of great interest to the crime fan. It's the most gorgeous book about the crime genre I've seen since It's All One Case, a superb book about Ross Macdonald's work published three years ago which deserves to be much better known. Terence Caven's design work is admirable."

In the case of It's All One Case, it's Jeff Wong who deserves kudos for his fantastic design work.

"[Curran's] certainly done a huge amount of research, and as a result, the text is more interesting and valuable than is usually the case with coffee table books (something else it has in common with It's All One Case). 

Thanks, Martin Edwards.
