James, I actually ended up buying the reel-to-reel for about $30 on eBay. Like you, I was always outbid on the record. I then had my cousin make a CD of the...
It seems a few enterprising fans have sussed us out before we were quite ready to announce our little venture, but the cat is out of the bag now. A little more...
Thanks for the head's up. Interesting site. Already have all those Ed and AM books in the original Bantoms, but a hardcover edition might be nice. And ...
They have a web page with information and archives at http://www.miskatonic.org/rara-avis/ I guess it's part of the eldritch Miskatonic U that Lovecraft writes...

Am I to understand that someone, possibly "Ben Yalow," or some group is going to be publishing a number (?) of the Fredric Brown mystery/crime novels? I just...
... Yes. As for your questions, to check out the reprint volumes of Brown's science fiction, go to www.nesfa.org/press. There's a huge book collecting his...
I read a comment from Charles Willeford, no slouch as a writer himself. He noted that during the fifties, he loaned and lost about a dozen Fredric Brown...

I think Willeford is great. I'm reading Miami Blues right now as a matter of fact. A new-ish book of his, Deliver Me From Dallas, has just been published. ...
It's not off topic. In fact, one of the rarest of the McMillan published Brown anthologies is *Sex Life on the Planet Mars*, which is introduced and signed by...
Normally a list like this wouldn't be a venue for conducting auctions, so I asked Jim Roberts first if it would be okay. The subject line encapsulates his...

The only Fred Brown book I've never been able to obtain and read (largely my own fault for just not getting around to ordering) was MITKEY ASTROMOUSE. I know...
