Title: The Case of the Perjured Parrot
Author: Erle Stanley Gardner
Cover artist: Ric Grasso
Yours for: $8
Best things about this back cover:
- Woman distraught over loss of parrot attempts suicide by costume jewelry, gets tired, quits.
- "Maybe if I just lean here sultrily, my parrot will just fly back in the window."
- I unironically love her dress.
Best things about this back cover:
- Wait, I can't see Perry, WHERE'S PERRY!? Oh, there he is. Phew. Thanks, Giant Red Arrow.
- Not often you see the phrase "collection of guns at the public library." At least not where I'm from.
- Remember when people watched scripted television on Saturdays!? Good times.

"You're putting me in a very difficult position, Mason," Bolding said irritably.
Mason's voice showed surprise. "I am? Why, I thought you'd put yourself in it."

P.S. This is one of 97 paperbacks I bought yesterday at the University Book Sale. "Bingeing" doesn't really get at it.
