Thanks as always! But ... there's always a but! -- the link for Davidson's novels goes to the post above it ... :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. Too easy to have happen when setting multiple links. Sometime a bad link, sometimes the links "colonize" each other.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Todd. I saw a link to a post about a Margaret Millar novel. I just finished her book, Banshee. It was not bad, but I've read much better by her.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jack...yes, Brian Busby took that one on, in the current series of her complete novels reprints...I've not read enough of her work yet to get to any minor ones...my loss, though I have read most of her husband's Archer novels and stories.
ReplyDeleteA while back, Douglas Winter wondered if I could produce an alphabetical listing by author and title for FFB lists...maybe I'll try to get back on that...
