I can't really recommend reading more just for the antique stuff. I like that kind of thing so much I'll even read Tamar Myers, but Lovejoy is such a pratt I can't bear those book. I think I read 2 or 3 before I gave up in disgust. But remember (as I always say in these circumstances) I read 9 of John Norman's Gor books.

I was figuring I could skim them for the antiquey bits.

(Nine, really?)

Lovejoy is indeed (nearly) without redeeming qualities, but of the 4 or 5 of these I read before I gave up, one of them stands out in my memory as head-and-shoulders above the rest. It’s called Firefly Gadroon, and I would recommend it even given your reaction to The Judas Pair. No warranties explicit or implied, but I’m glad I read that far.

(I was terribly amused by the way the TV series based on these books cleaned up the protagonist—a transformation of Hawkeye-like proportions.)

Hmmm, the paperback exchange might well have that one; it sounds familiar, anyway. Thanks for the recommendation.
