You regularly provide great biographical and historical details around Golden Age authors and books, and I'm grateful to you for all the detective work. Thanks for mentioning my own review of MATWCC -- hopefully the title can find its way to a reprint soon -- and this weekend I will update my post to include links to your writing here.
