<<Never heard of this one. What's Nostalgia? A mag? An e-zine?>>

I sometimes review more or less forgotten books by dead writers - I call
them nostalgia reviews. I think Bill Denton has put a couple on the
rara-avis web page.

Regards, and do check out old Fred Davis - evergreen stuff.

Addendum to recent readings:

* Baynard Kendrick - "Death Knell" (Morrow, 1945), another candidate for
the Miss Harboiledhearts column. Kendrick's work deserves to be widely
known. He's yet another forgotten great master of the pulp style. Yes, I
know that he was made a Grand Master by MWA, but that was way back when
- in our dememorized society, it's as if he had never existed!
