It'd be great if we all had libraries like you two! Gold
Medals are easy to find, and easy to see on shelves or in
boxes or hidden behind Robert Ludlum novels. I bet most of us
have fairly limited collections of Dells or Ace Doubles, and
reading them in the original edition would be part of the
fun. Most are probably long out of print so we couldn't find
modern editions, either, and people overseas might have a
tough time. But take the Ace Doubles, say: can you list some
books that were first published in those editions? Or, as Mr.
Ribic mentioned, we could do non-Gold Medal PBO of the decade
... maybe we could work up decade by decade, a month at a
time, and see how the HB and noir books changed through the
years.
