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 ...
... Now that IS a bummer! ... Gosh, many more than that. DM was not attempting a COLLECTED MYSTERY FICTION OF FREDRIC BROWN - he was compiling THE UNCOLLECTED...
... There are cheaper ways to get to read these titles. Using Bookfinder.com, I see one can get MADBALL in the original Dell paperback for as low as $27.50...
... Hi Joe, I didn't think it necessary for me to counsel members about cheaper alternatives to Centipede Press's book. The more ideal situation is that...
Hi, James (and fellow Brown fans)-- A quick question for the group: does anyone know Brown's former address in El Segundo, California? According to Jack...
Sorry, Duane - I've no idea. My only likely resource would be the Seabrook bio, but you already have that. If you do find it, I hope you'll post it to your...
Sorry. Wish I knew because that would be a cool trip. One story Linn told me several years ago about how he visited a woman who was Fred's landlord. She was...
Fellow list member Alex Verstegen came through with an answer! Seems that Brown lived at the corner of Main and Imperial, which is now on the very southern...
... I doubt it, too. That part of the Imperial Highway would have been widened since the '50s, with the little house probably part of the structures removed...
Can someone describe this short story without revealing its surprises (if any)? Seabrook simply calls it dull, and gives no plot details about it. Since it...
Hi Duane, From Elizabeth Brown's "Oh, For the Love of an Author's Wife", page 237: "We stopped at the Charcoal Broiler for a drink and to study our map before...
... It is a fairly bland tale of murder and blackmail in the show business world. The title refers to a play of that name, but the story never explains WHY...
