I can't help you with any of the names you mentioned, but
don't ever worry
that you're a bother. THis is a pretty friendly and very
helpful group. Even
when I'm not actively participating, I thoroughly enjoy
reading the posts to
this list.
Again, welcome! -- Duane

months

reference books. So

>In 1950 the paperback came to Norway, and my dad
bought them from the
start.
>It's amazing how many of the American hb/noir authors
that were translated

all the authors (not

I have in a
Norwegian

forties/fifties/sixties. I inherited my

wasted one single
>book), and reading/collecting these books (both in
Norwegian and in
English)
>has become my hobby (passion?).

>Now the help I need: some authors/books I can't find
in my reference books.
>And from the staggering amount of knowledge I've
registered on rara-avis,
>maybe you can help me out:
>Who was Shipley Adams and when did he publish 'Murder
Well Begun'? And
>Robert Chestnut, Lewis Clay and Charles Clos? I'll
just mention Barry Cord
>and James Dark before I stop. I have a few more names,
but maybe you'll let
