: THIS IS REED: I'm not a Queen follower, but this kind of
information
: is useful. The next issue of FIRSTS is targeted at
gumshoes, with
: articles on Charlie Chan, Napoleon Bonaparte, and
Inspector
: Maigret. Also will feature an article on collecting
Charles
: Willeford, and another article on K.C. Constantine: who he
is or
: might be.
Now those last two sound interesting, and I'll keep an eye
out for the
magazine. There was a small pulp convention in Toronto today,
and I
saw _The Machine in Ward Eleven_ by Willeford (paperback
first
edition) selling for $50. I bought a copy of it last year for
$35, so
I seem to be doing well.
I'll pass over anything about Ellery Queen.
