finding the series
of books. Well, I don't need the whole series per se, but
hitting the
highlights would definitely be wonderful. I've made one or
two
half-assed attempts to track them down at the local used
stores, but no
luck so far.
Does anyone have some recs. as to the best Matt Helm books, and
a place
online where I can find them?>
If you'll forgive some blatant self-promotion, you might want
to read a
pair of articles I wrote about Hamilton and the Helm series
that appear
in the November 1997 issue of FIRSTS magazine and in Ed
Gorman's new
book, THE BIG BOOK OF NOIR. Both include a definitive
bibliography of
all his work and discussions of the high spots. Your best bet
to find
some of the books is PANDORA'S BOOKS LTD at Box 54, Neche North
Dakota
58265. Their website is http://www.pandora.ca/pandora.
