Advance Reading Copies (ARCs)

The  Mediterranean Caper (ARC)


A new addition to my collection, is the Advance Reading Copies (ARCs) of Clive’s books, is the one for the 40th anniversary edition of "The Mediterranean Caper".  Released this July as a Putnam hardcover, The  Mediterranean Caper, this was Clive’s first published book and it appears that an ARC was not done not for the Pyramid paperback version forty years ago. As a  result, having an ARC of Clive’s debut book in a collection can be a new cornerstone. Plus, unlike other ARCs produced for Clive’s newly-released  books, there were only around 50 or so made for The Mediterranean Caper, an exceedingly small print run for this type of edition, which will make this very rare. The ARC for the 40th  anniversary edition does include a new Foreword, penned by Clive,
