This first group all came from Barry Ergang. I would suggest folks check it out. Barry is planning a move to smaller quarters and is winnowing his collection down. I think you’ll find stuff you want, maybe too much. I had to force myself to stop this time around. I could have gotten another dozen easily. He offers great prices and only a nominal amount for shipping & handling, unlike the used book sites who attach a fixed amount for each book from the same order(that’s how they can charge $.01 for some books and still make money).

The man called noon. Wish I had that one to read over fresh. I remember how much I loved it.

The Marlowes are great fun, Randy. I read an earlier collection of Max Latins and I’m looking forward to catching up on his adventures. The Binders were very popular in their day, which I’m afraid has passed.

Ooooh! I want those Chester Drum paperbacks, except the two of them I already have. Dang.

I have been winnowing too but mostly to the book sales or libraries.

Menace of the Saucers was all Otto Binder. Eando started out as Earl and Otto, but Earl left the writing partnership about twenty years before this one came out.
I bought the sequel, Night of the Saucers, back in 1970, but haven’t come across a physical copy of Menace to this day. That is one rare paperback!
