Well, I definitely want to get a copy of this, it is great that Stark House is reprinting these.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of stacks of CB books collected over the years, but I don't believe I have any of these early stories. I hope they catch on again as they are (normally) fast-reading fun.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment and visit. The pre 1958 titles are getting very rare and pricey. I'm awaiting the next Stark House release.
