Judging by his photographs on the internet, he seemed to have been a very likeable person and quite candid when it came to airing his views. The vintage covers are amazing, as Charles says, and funny at the same time.Prashant C.

He was a strong supporter of having free books accessible to everyone.HKatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653570160517335758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169151311037688512.post-28307700011606034912012-06-07T09:02:54.306-07:002012-06-07T09:02:54.306-07:00Charles, I couldn't agree more. Bradbury, Well...Charles, I couldn't agree more. Bradbury, Wells and Burroughs are the only three sf writers I have read. In fact, I have read only four books and a handful of short stories by Bradbury. Apart from these three I am now reading sf by other writers. I find reviewing sf rather daunting; perhaps I'll give it a try after I have read as many as writers as I can.Prashant C.
