Hi John, Interesting surmise -- and an excellent summary of Margaret Blount's writings -- but I have to disagree. As far as I'm aware, Margaret Blount was the...
Hi Steve, Although books and short stories by Blount appeared after Rymer was dead that doesn't mean that she was still alive and writing. Does Haynes give any...
hi, can anybody inform me when exactly was GWM Reynolds's Joseph Wilmot published? What were the exact years? Was it serialized in Reynolds"s Miscellany? ...
Hello, E.F. Bleiler says this was published in parts from July 29, 1853 to July 4, 1855. Frank Jay gives the same starting date. The latter also says that...

Hi all! I have recently picked up a set of The Collector's Miscellany, a magazine published in the 1930s. It is a fascinating read, with numerous articles by...
Hi Trefor, Reynolds has had his followers since Barry Ono -- each generation of fans seems to reveal at least one. Tom Hopperton (an old-time collector from...
