Book summary
Carl Webster, the star of Elmore Leonard's THE HOT KID, returns, this time doggedly pursuing a pair of escaped German POWs who have holed up in Detroit under the protection of a German butcher. Complicating matters are two women: a Nazi spy, Vera Mezwa, and Webster's ex-wife, the incorrigible and irresistible Honey Deal. As with all Leonard's work, the characters are vivid and pungent, the dialogue blows the dust off your brain, and the plot is as smooth as molasses. Tough, sharp, and cool in all the best ways--UP IN HONEY'S ROOM is a book to be read with enormous pleasure.
Media reviews
"It's as if the best of Mel Brooks and Quentin Tarantino were refined into something finer and purer....If there is a little more slapstick and a little less crime here than usual, it hardly matters. The talk's the thing, and Leonard hooks you with his first quotation mark." (starred review)

A flawless, collector's-quality copy: clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. Yet to be read.

"...German-born Walter Schoen, now living in Detroit, is a dead ringer for Heinrich Himmler. Walter's American wife, Honey Deal, doesn't know he's a German spy, but she's tired of telling him jokes he doesn't understand -- it's time for a divorce. Along comes Carl Webster, the hot kid of the Marshals Service. He's looking for a German officer who escaped from a POW camp in Oklahoma. Carl's pretty sure Walter's involved, so Carl gets to know Honey, hoping she'll take him to Walter. Honey likes Carl and doesn't much care that he's married. But all Carl wants is to get his man without getting shot. It's Elmore Leonard's world -- gritty, funny, and full of surprises..."

Bookseller Terms of Sale
We are a member of the Better Business Bureau and a proud participant in their Online Reliability program.
Payment Methods Accepted:
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover Card, and checks or money orders made out to Jeffrey C. Wright. You can also, if you like, make your payment -- credit card or bank transfer -- through Paypal.com (Acct name: JWright714@comcast.net).
Grading:
Dealers who are otherwise members of prestigious bookselling organizations should know that you can't grade a book Fine if it's remaindered; nor can a dustjacket be graded Fine that is price-clipped. And yet we see this sort of thing -- more and more -- and from all manner of establishments. It reflects poorly on the industry.
Thus, we recommend that any prospective online customer insist on a thorough description (such as are issued through these Nooks) for any collectible item. We're well-versed, here, in the grading process and we do so fairly if not conservatively.
Refunds:
We understand all too well the hesitancy of some collectors to make their purchases online, particularly in such cases where books are scarce or costly. We, therefore, stress the integrity in these Nooks. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, or all costs you've incurred will be refunded -- no questions asked -- providing the book is returned to us in the same condition within two weeks.
Shipping:
Though most booksellers are quite professional and know how to properly handle their wares, I've noticed (being a book-buyer, too) that many online shops can be slipshod and amateurish in their shipping practices. This being so, we'd like to assure you: when you buy from us the item will be nicely and securely presented. It will be gift-wrapped, sealed in a plastic bag to protect it against water damage, encased in bubble wrap and/or foam 'peanuts' and boxed. We ship books out the way we like to receive them. Except, perhaps, in the rare occasion of an inexpensive reading copy, I'd not think of consigning a book from these Nooks to the hard knocks of the postal system in a simple bubble-mailer. You won't get that shoddy handling here.
Insurance:
It is our policy to pay the insurance for any purchase over $200.00. Should you like to provide your own insurance for less of a sum, the cost is $1.30 for $50.00 of coverage, $2.20 for $100.00, and $3.20 for up to $200.00 of coverage. Insurance, in such cases, is suggested (simply state your preference in the comments segment during checkout) as we cannot be responsible for books that are lost in transit.
