Replaced by another store which focused more on gaming than comics, and not on other sorts of magazines at all.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-44234299173408282632013-08-03T13:22:15.809-04:002013-08-03T13:22:15.809-04:00Todd, we all miss those great used bookstores.

He soon went on to his "Mom" stories (collected in 1997 by Crippen & Landru and featured in four novels). His mainstream novels focused on middle class Jewish life, and his book NOTHING BUT THE NIGHT fictionalized the Leopold-Loeb case. He's also noted for plays and television scripts. His early stories for EQMM reflect his age.<br /><br />The link should take you to a pic of the young author and Fred Dannay:<br /><br />http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1345016025p5/155250.jpgJerry Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482856733981933159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-4907329388450288532013-08-02T13:22:02.977-04:002013-08-02T13:22:02.977-04:00James Yaffe, not one of my favorite mystery writer...James Yaffe, not one of my favorite mystery writers and overpraised by Dannay as a great talent, was a teenager when he wrote the stories you review here. His debut I thought reads very much like an Encyclopedia Brown story including the obvious flaw with the balloon which most modern readers do spot.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-48475039799129625242013-08-02T13:15:52.620-04:002013-08-02T13:15:52.620-04:00Wow, you scored some nice magazines at a bargain! ...Wow, you scored some nice magazines at a bargain!
