One of my regular blog reads posted today about an author who I had no previous knowledge of.
He was a contemporary of Edgar Rice Burroughs and the the Wierd Tales crew and sounds like a good read, will have to be sure to add him to my list of grab him if I see him at my local used book store. So for starters I ordered a copy of “The Port of Peril” from Alibris which I have used for some harder to find books I have given up on at my local haunt. I am also going to grab one from AbeBooks, which seems to have a better variety of titles available.
About ERB.. I can pretty much blame him, well actually my junior high school band director gets a good chunk of the blame, followed closely by my uncle George. Phil loaned me a copy of “A Princes of Mars” and I was hooked. My uncle took me with him on his monthly trips to a mall in Lima Ohio where I was able to pick up the books in the series one at a time. From there things branched out to my monsterous (at least I am pretty sure that is what my wife calls it when she walks into my office) collection of books. I am in the process of getting them entered into my Library Thing.
