Funny you mention that: There's a new mailing list devoted to
Fred Brown over at onelist.com. It's a small group so far
(reaallllllllly small), but the moderator is in touch with
Fred's son, Linn Brown, who own virtually all the rights to
his father's work.
In fact, the moderator (James Roberts) is supposed to be
meeting up for lunch tomorrow to talk about the list. I was
going to ask James to pass along that very question: Why
hasn't someone like Vintage Black Lizard snapped up all of
Brown's novels?
I've been trying to collect all of Brown's books for a couple
of years now, and, like Bill Crider mentioned, have had great
success with abebooks--and more recently, ebay.
Best,
Duane Swierczynski
