This was the book cover that got this gay boy interested in the Ripley books. I remember it well, at the Camberwell library after dinner with my dad and my sister. We used to all go to the library and take books out. We'd be there for an hour, or so, looking at the books. It was fun, with dad.

It was a bonus that the Ripley books were great, some of my very favourite. I would nearly say my favourite.
