I've been considering Heinlein's long lost first novel, _For Us, The Living : A Comedy of Customs_, (~$18)though it seems to be a curiosity for the dedicated Heinlein reader. Still, I've read every scrap available of his fiction... The reviews indicate that it could be a bit preachy. I'd also recommend almost anything by James Lee Burke, if you're looking outside the f/sf genres. Gritty crime drama mostly set in the South. There are plenty of choices in massmarket editions that would meet the $7 range you're looking for. Casey
