MacCampbell was still an agent during the Eighties. I got a
letter from him once asking if I had any out-of-print
Westerns for which he could sell the large print rights. I
got the impression that was about the extent of his business
at the time. Since then I've seen quite a few large print
Westerns that say "Published by arrangement with Donald
MacCampbell" on the copyright page. Not in recent years,
though, since Jon Tuska has pretty much cornered that
market.

I wish I'd had something to give him. It would have been nice
to be represented by somebody who had once represented Keene
and Whittington.
