 This
is an awsome, comprehensive guide to works written by
and about Louis L'Amour.
The first part documents all of his book-length works,
providing extensive information on editions, reprints
and translations, a plot synopsis, and a list of selected
reviews for each.
The second part covers all known and verified short stories,
identifying the date of the first publication and including
information on reprints and title changes and an annotation
for each. Following these are sections detailing L'Amour's
nonfiction and poetry, audio productions, motion pictures
and television programs based on his books and stories,
and books and articles about him. A 75 page character
register and a comprehensive general index are also provided.
Curator of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Research Collection
of the Cushing Library at Texas A&M University, Halbert
W. Hall (well known to all of us on the discussion forum
as Hal Hall) has won numerous awards for his contributions
to both library and science fiction publications. He lives
in Bryan, Texas. Hal also wanted to "recognize Rick
Hicks's contribution to the "Short Story" segment. He
was a major help. Tom Daniels was also a great help on
details and support. Both are on the Forum from time to
time. "
Includes an Introduction by Michael T. Marsden and an
Afterword by Michael T. Marsden and Kristine Fredriksson
which recounts an interview with Louis on March 17, 1985.
