Westlake Describes Manhattan

Westlake Describes Manhattan...
...Glamorous big city life as per Donald E. Westlake... (from "What's the Worst that Could Happen):


"...the scenery here being mostly sloppily dressed people in a hurry,  a lot of battered and dirty parked cars, and grimy stone or brick buildings put up a hundred years ago."

A Picture of John Dortmunder, et al

EVER WONDER WHAT JOHN DORTMUNDER LOOKS LIKE? (Hint: he does not look like Robert Redford, despite The Hot Rock.) Of course you have... well here he is, w/ May, Murch, Murch's Mom and someone else (I guess it supposed to be Andy Kelp, but as wrong as Redford was for Dortmunder, the young George Segal will always be Andy Kelp in my mind's eye). I just found this charming p'back edition at a neighborhood book sale, for fifty cents (cover price $1.50), along w/ Why Me and Baby, Would I Lie?
