Cap'n Bob is right about Prather. He looked pretty much like one would expect him to look. In the early 1960's I read a few of his books but I was reading the somewhat similar (if less successful) Burns Bannion books by Earl Norman (Kill Me in Yokohama, etc.). In my early teens why wouldn't I like wise-cracking humor, fast action and lots of naked babes. Not just in my early teens either, I admit.Jeff Meyersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093411926030586355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-22014626901181722622016-01-16T04:24:29.675-05:002016-01-16T04:24:29.675-05:00Correction, East Coast.

The book I read for this was my first experience with Prather's books also, and very different from the books I normally read. Some of the overviews I read compared his work to Westlake, or the Mike Hammer books, or Brett Halliday's books. I haven't read the last two so couldn't say. Anyway, it was a fun experiment and now I will look for more books by Prather, since the writing is fine and there are some great paperback covers.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-51784442675009973232016-01-15T14:40:53.695-05:002016-01-15T14:40:53.695-05:00I show all of these on my blog.

Considering they'd print a half or whole million of 'em without too much prodding, that started adding up to serious 1950s change. (Paperbacks frequently would sell better than hotcakes early on, particularly if packaged just so.)Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-36460192625474840772016-01-15T13:40:58.043-05:002016-01-15T13:40:58.043-05:00Finally up.
