Series Books Through the Lens of History by David M
Series Books Through the Lens of History by David M. Baumann This article first appeared in The Mystery and Adventure Series Review #43, summer 2010 Books As Time Machines It was more than half a century ago that I learned how to type. My parents had a Smith-Corona typewriter—manual, of course—that I used to write letters to my cousins. A few years later I took a “typing class” in junior high. Students were encouraged to practice “touch typing” and to aim for a high number of “words per minute”. There were distinctive sounds associated with typing that I can still hear in my memory. I remember the firm and rapid tap of the keys, much more “solid” than the soft burr of computer “keyboarding”. A tiny bell rang to warn me that the end of the line was coming; I would finish the word or insert a hyphen, and then move the platen from left to right with a quick whirring ratchet of motion. Frequently there was the sound of a sheet of paper being pulled out of the machine, either with a rip of frustration accompanied by an impatient crumple and toss, or a careful tug followed by setting the completed page aside; then another sheet was inserted with the roll of the platen until the paper was deftly positioned. Now and then I had to replace a spool of inked ribbon and clean the keys with an old toothbrush. Musing on these nearly vanished sounds, I put myself in the place of the writers of our series books, nearly all of whom surely wrote with typewriters. -
A Dark Horse Series the Ted Wilfords by David M
A Dark Horse Series The Ted Wilfords by David M. Baumann January-February 2006 The first form of this article appeared in The Mystery and Adventure Series Review, #39, Summer 2006. It was revised June 10, 2007 to incorporate the addition of the first two books in proper sequence and to add more information about the author. It was revised again November 8, 2010 to update information about the availability of the books. 9,545 words For copies of this astonishingly excellent series book fanzine and information on subscriptions (free—donation expected), contact: Fred Woodworth The Mystery and Adventure Series Review P. O. Box 3012 Tucson, AZ 85702 s I cast my eyes over the collection of books that jams my shelves, I make out forty different series. When I numbered them for this article, I was surprised at how many there Awere. I also observed that, of these forty series, only ten of them, or precisely one-fourth, are series that I decided to collect on my own. Fully thirty others I owe to the recommendation of someone else. Jim Ogden led me to Wynn & Lonny. Jon Cooper suggested that I collect Dig Allen. Steve Servello introduced me to Christopher Cool. Rocco Musemeche and Tim Parker urged me to collect several series from the 1910s-1930s. Several of my favorite series came from recommendations made by Fred Woodworth. In the fall of 2005, I collected the Ted Wilford series at his suggestion. I had never heard of this series, and in more than fifteen years of collecting and occasionally hobnobbing with other collectors in person or by various means of correspondence, no one else had ever mentioned it before. -

SERIES BOOKS: THEIR APPEAL by David M
SERIES BOOKS: THEIR APPEAL by David M. Baumann Summer 1998 Written for my website on the X Bar X Boys http://home.pacbell.net/dbaumann/ In addition to the joy of collecting and reading the old series books, there is the equal value of the number of relationships I have developed with a dozen or so other collectors—a number which is growing. The people in this group range in age from 19 to 84, is spread across the country from Connecticut to California, with one or two overseas, and include a devout Roman Catholic and an atheist, a monarchist and an anarchist, a blue collar worker and a professional man, a priest, a college student, and a few retired people, men and women, single and married, and people who live in big cities and in very rural areas. One day I asked myself, What do we have in common? Why do we search through used book stores and other repositories of old books to look eagerly for volumes long out of print, written for children in the era of the first seventy years of this century? Truth be told, many of the books really have little to commend them; consistent greatness is rare, and there are serious flaws of many kinds in the genre. Where, then, does our passion come from? Right here I must say that I can’t answer the question; however, I think I can identify a few relevant factors. Bibliomania Most of us like the physical reality of books as well-crafted items. In series books, we like the thick paper, attractive type style, the artwork, and the color of the dust jackets. -

Nuclearnewsasks Who Inspired You?
NuclearNewsAsks Who Inspired You? 38 Nuclear News November 2020 Continuing on with our theme “The People of Nuclear,” this article presents responses from various community members about those who inspired them—or the events or things that inspired them—to go on to have careers in nuclear. There is an interesting mix of figures here, the most prominent being teachers who had lasting effects on their students. There are others who offered inspiration, too, including parents and other family members. What all the respondents have in common is their inherent drive and their love of science and technology to keep nuclear moving forward. We would like to hear your story. Write in to let us know about it and we will share it within the pages of Nuclear News. Continued ans.org/nn 39 Akio Yamamoto Charlyne A.
