I started reading the Matt Helm books (and boy do I hate to
admit this)
about 35 years ago. Maybe it was only 34. Anyway, after reading
the first
one I bought the others as they appeared, and I've never been
disappointed.
Maybe the later ones are too long and too padded, but I still
enjoyed them.
Before doing the Helm books, Donald Hamilton had written some
paperback
westerns and some one-shot espionage novels. All those are
quite good, too.
