I couldn't resist looking myself up in it. I'm so ashamed. No, I'm not.

I've got an ancient printed version but this blows that completely out of the water. I'm looking forward to finding missed SF masterpieces!

I know I use the website http://stopyourekillingme.com to keep up with my favorite mystery authors and have wished for a similar site for SF writing for years.

Thank you!

They even have my favorite mystery author, Chesbro:

http://stopyourekillingme.com/C_Authors/Chesbro_George.html

His books are not well known and he often gets left out but it's great stuff.

Edit - A lot of his stuff is really a cross between sci-fi and mystery. His best is The Beast of Valhalla about a mad scientist that wants to de-evolve mankind in order to prevent it's extinction.

Hoping to give them ad revenues, though I usually don't buy from Amazon.
