I give you credit for going to great lengths to obtain these books.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I just did a write-up on Toronto's on "Golden Amazon":http://www.spysafehouse.com/pulp/golden-amazon-world-beneath-ice-john-russel-fearn.php
Never new before there was such a hero pulp!
Nice to have the effort recognized, Tim. I like to think the collection will one day be worth a tenth as much to a university library as it does to me.
ReplyDeleteAnd my thanks for bringing your piece on the Golden Amazon to my attention. I first became aware of her through the early Harlequins - The Golden Amazon, The Golden Amazon's Triumph and The Deathless Amazon - but have more or less ignored her because she was created by a Brit. Not that there's anything wrong that, but Canadian literature is my thing. There's just so much I can keep track of.
