All of them have been reprinted under Browne's name, and all
of them are worth reading (for the person who started the
thread). In fact, everything that I've read by Browne has
been excellent--I read 2 of his later works in the past year
(PORK CITY & SCOTCH ON THE ROCKS). It's a shame he didn't
write more, but I imagine his contribution to the genre as
editor was also important.

Don't miss INCREDIBLE INK, the 1997 McMillan published
collection of Browne's shorter pieces. Over 500 pages, it
includes stories Brown wrote for Mammoth Detective while he
was editing it. Definitely worth having. Some personal
memoirs of his are included from taped interviews. And
another McMillan book - THE PAPER GUN, with the oartial novel
and the only short Pine story "So Dark for April". According
to McMillan, after this book was published Brown rewrote and
extended THE PAPER GUN, but still didn't finish it.
