Having turned to the popular-fiction repository of knowledge
that is the Yahoogroup FictionMags, wherein William Contento
checked his Hubin and provided:
Hubin has:

Nuffield, 1952, hc) [*Jerry Parker; *@E...] (Contents)

Thus suggesting that too many James E. Gunn's were born to
write around the turn of the '20s for scholars' comfort. Many
thanks, Bill Contento...

-----Original Message----- From:
abc@wt.net [mailto:
abc@wt.net] Miker asked about Deadlier Than the Male,
Gunn 1942. I have some questions about that one, myself. I
figure that James Gunn, the author, just about has to be the
same James Gunn who wrote a lot of SF novels (I first
encountered him in the SF magazines long, long ago) and who's
also well-known in academic circles. His series of
anthologies that spans the history of SF is a great starting
point for any collection. But after reading Deadlier than the
Male, I looked at his official bibliography, and it's not
there. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe it's not the same guy. The
story I heard somewhere or other was that Gunn wrote the book
while he was a college student. It was later made into a
movie under a different title. Does anybody know the straight
story behind all this?
