David, I've been lax in looking for the other Frenchy Beaumonts. Not a good idea for me to slack off now that everyone will be seeking copies. I do want to...
... Nice point--the Benton and Carson families are not given too much emphasis in BB, but then I think that was okay. I suspect that in a "detective" series...
David, Good point, there wasn't a lot of place in Brains Benton mysteries for complex family relationships. Brains and Jimmy's friendship and Jimmy's ...

Hi David, I talked to Charlie. He says that he does not remember there being a 6th Frenchy book. He says HIS favorite was "The Wonderful World Series." That...
... That's good to know. After looking around I didn't think there was a sixth, but when there is even the slightest possibility otherwise, you always wonder,...
David, Charlie also mentioned the book "High Danger" published in 1955 by New York Sterling Publishing Co., Inc. He said, "(It) is a wonderful story, however....
I'm fresh back and I see that Charles has work for me already. So far no results for the APB for Gomez. Not much new to report on the Brains Benton front,...
