Rene is correct. A little personal history here, begging your
pardon, sirs. A book of mine called BLOOD MARKS was bought
for reprint by Ballantine, etc. Before it was published I met
one of the editors there and told him about my Gold Medal
collection. Would you believe that even the publishers don't
have a complete run of those GM titles? Well, it's true. The
editor later called me when Marvin H. Albert was looking for
a copy of one of his books (even the author didn't have a
copy!). I did. But I didn't send it to him. I photocopied it.
But I digress. Back to that editor. When he found out about
my GM collection and my admiration for those books, he asked
if I'd like to have BLOOD MARKS come out as a Gold Medal Book
even though it was a reprint. How could I say no? That's one
of the nicest things an editor ever did for me.
