There were 19 volumes in Dennis's limited edition series, though the
final ones engaged in barrel-scraping. Dennis also reprinted a few
of them (3 or 4?) as trade paperbacks. All, I think, are out of
print, but Dennis has recently re-emerged as a publisher (I think I
once mentioned to rara-avis that he is collecting all of Howard
Browne's pulp stories into a book, INCREDIBLE INK, to be published in a few months in honor of browne's 90th
birthday). I don't know whether Dennis still has a few copies of his
Fredric Brown books, but I can post his e-mail if anyone wishes to
contact him.
