QX!
Have just been informed that some of E. E. 'Doc' Smith's books are out of copyright and freely available on the interweb, at http://www.thalasson.com/gtn/gtnletS.htm#smithedw - I'm looking forward to re-reading some I haven't in many years.
Mind you, that's not always pleasant. The other week, I found Being a Green Mother - one of the Incarnations of Immortality series, by Piers Anthony, which I used to love - in a charity shop. I knew by now he was bad, but that was painful. You know how some writers can strike notes of purest gold, some of silver, and so on?
Anthony's bell is purest cardboard.
