I've heard him mention it a few times in Q&A sessions..... But I can't remember exactly what he said they were. Or wich inerview they were in..
I think they were time life series or something. Anyone know what I'm talking about and what series that was?

These the ones about poisons and stuff? If so, those are a set of three books from Writer's Digest, I believe. Forget exactly, but I think they're a series called Howdunit. Can't check cause I'm on a train, but I'll try to check in the morning.

No problem.
There are 3 of them: Police procedure, Poisons, and Forensics. I have all three, but haven't read the Poisons book yet. There are also some others from Writer's Digest, though I think they might be somewhat older. I know that they were available on Amazon last time I looked, but that was some months ago.

Yup. The blue and black ones are the most recent. I forget if it's a black bar with a blue title and blue cover, or the opposite. I think it's mostly blue, though. Those are the most recent ones.
