Refrence books Jim uses....
« on: January 30, 2011, 03:24:43 AM »
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.
