Do you want to read from scans?

Greg Weeks
That would be great! Thank you so much for this--I doubt I could ever have managed to find out if it was PD on my own. And you even found and scanned a first edition!! Damn. I don't work that hard at the job that pays me.

I ordered the book via ILL. I don't always get a copy, but I usually do. A half an hour of copyright research, and a couple of scanning is all. Maybe another couple of hours getting the images prepped for DP. I'm doing this on lots of titles for DP anyway.

Let me know when you have gotten it as I'll want to delete it from there.

Planish has picked that one up to solo ... hooray.

And thanks for Greener, Greg. Being able to request occasional gems is really cool, and of course if you particularly want something voiced in return, just post.

The biggest thing I wanted was the H. Beam Piper. That seems to be pretty much in hand. There is a fair pile of Randall Garrett on its way. I'd like to see some of that done as well. I expect most of it will be picked up once it comes through.

I should mention that James Gunn is the latest Grand Master of Science Fiction. He got the award this year in March. I also think this is the only story of his in the public domain. He was quite thorough about renewing. The only reason this one is in the public domain is because Space Science Fiction didn't file their copyrights. He seemed kind of ticked at them still over that.

Huh! I'll have to go check him out - I'd not heard of him.

Since he seems to be alive best ask him if the PD work at Gutenberg inflates his sales.

There are a bunch of Randall Garrett's in queue for PG right now. Is anyone a Randall Garrett fan?

Shorts through several novels and at least one trilogy.
