Of course, some people might not realize that "Great Searchlight" actually takes place over the Canada-US border, considering that the text of the book always...
Well . . . not really. But the thought crossed my mind when I saw this: http://www.starshipmodeler.biz/shop/index.cfm/product/2298/120-woman-pilot-at-rest.cfm...
I've taken another step with my Tom Swift generator. Now it can add chapter titles as well! Reading them is fun - it's like getting a glimpse into Tom Swift...
Now the real challenge would be to write a story to fit those chapter titles. Most of those books sound as if they'd be pretty busy plot-wise. Michael...

I was in a children's collectible book store last week and he said that TS JR books were generally more common in Canada than in the USA. That was because the...
Thanks Keeline Think in Airline Express it was SUBSIDY(however spelled!) In the 1920s the US government may have subsidized(tho be repayed later!)Various...
Hi think the term was Subsidy! However spelled! In the Airline Express Book. Tom refused! Aw Tom Sr and Tom Jr one of the 1 percent I guess?! Take Care Andre'...

I would have to disagree there, since, while there would've been high volumes of sales here in Canada, they would not have been anywhere near the US sales. I...

Good data. My only question would be how efficient the inventory system would be back in the 60's per-computer? Even now in my job where we have inventory in...
