Hello, I am 'wallop is no table'(because I am not a table). I'm actually a 15-year-old living somewhere in the US of A. I came across Fredric Brown on the...
Were I you - especially since you like his sci-fi more than his mysteries and those HCs are $75-plus - I'd get the trade-paperback volumes of Vols. 1- 5....
BTW, if you want to ask your parents for something special for Christmas, ask them for AND THE GODS LAUGHED, a signed Fredric Brown sci-fi hardcover/slipcased...
Hello, wallopisnotable Quite an interesting title for a 15 year old. It also could be wallop is notable. I'm an senior, over 60 years, living on the island of...

... I guess part of the question is whether you're looking for the books for the text, or for the collectibility. If it's the text, then skip the _And the Gods...
I very much enjoy the works of Fredric Brown, and currently have the option to obtain either _The Water Walker_ or _The Pickled Punks_. Which one would you...
... They're both good, and in my mind a toss-up as to which is "better." THE WATER WALKER has the novelette versions of the "The Wench is Dead" and "Martians...
I have to echo what Joe says in his post. I've read both collections; they're both good. And at $95 apiece -- not a bad price considering other titles in the...
Christopher Miles' blog has some interesting news about a Fredric Brown project <http://atomic-pulp.blogspot.com/2008/11/sequential-pulp.html> . Evidently a...
Checking back, I see that the $95 copies of both books are gone (and now a $115 copy of THE PICKLED PUNKS is newly listed). Did you get them both, Jimmy? --JF...

Good morning! I just discovered Centipede Press (http://www.centipedepress.com/index.html) is reprinting Fredric Brown's novels. Madball, and Here Comes a...
... That's true, but at these prices it will be primarily collectors who buy them. Using the Bookfinder.com search, one can get copies of the 1961 Fawcett...
Hello all, I recently purchased the wonderful NESFA anthologies. Why is the story Earthmen Bearing Gifts not included in From these Ashes? Was it simply an...
... It's there, but under it's alternate title, "Contact". I'd assumed that he preferred the later title, which is how it appeared in _Nightmares and...
My next question concerns the phrase in "The Angelic Angleworm." It's not really a NESFA question, but a question of whether Brown revised his text, probably...
Thanks, Ben. I was not aware of the alternate title. I thought I had looked at the stories from around 1960, and, if so, I obviously failed to recognize...
... I can tell you (since I had to decide which version to put into the book). The original said "German bombers", not "flying saucers". But that was changed...
Many years ago I compared the text in several different editions of Brown's stories, and found noticeable differences. Unfortunately I don't think I ever...
... Generally, I went with the last text from before Brown died, on the assumption that this was a set of changes he made. As opposed, for example, to the...
... Thanks for saving me the time and trouble of trying to track that down myself. I do think that "flying saucer" works better; it's more timeless than...
... Thank you for the information (I can finally say that I've read all of Fred Brown's published work--unless Dennis McMillan missed some), and for the lovely...
... Well, you *did* mention McMillan -- and I believe he did just that. Of course, unless you're one of the fortunate who have all 19 volumes of the series,...
... If you've already read the McMillan volumes, as you seem to imply, then you had already read all of FB's published fiction, as the three stories above were...
... Allow me to offer you a dose of *encouragement*. ... I was recently in touch with Masters, who shows up on eBay now and then trying to sell that Volume I....
... then you had already read all of FB's published fiction, as the three stories above were previously in McMillan volumes, as my previous post commented. << ...
... Of course, in the case of the NESFA volumes, they stay in print. As we sell out of a printing, we do another. So those don't need a PoD edition. ... Ben ...
