The price remains the same as for previous editions, $49.95, and can be ordered from Bill Contento through the Locus Magazine website. Unfortunately this will be the last CD-Rom edition of Crime Fiction IV. All future changes and additions will be listed only on this website through a continuing series of addendas. These addendas have been appearing on this website for the past 10 years, but since all of that information is now included in the 2015 Revised Edition, it will no longer be directly accessible from this starting page. Below is Part 1 of these new addendas. Links will be added for Parts 2 and on as they are created. To SEARCH for a specific author, title or phrase anywhere in the various parts of this Addenda, there two ways to most effectively use Google: (1) Do a normal search on Google but add crimefictioniv (or crimefictioniv.com) as one of the words sought. If searching for an author’s name, it is suggested that you do not use quotes.
