I see David Gold recently published his autobiography Pure Gold. Has anuyone seen or read it? I'm wondering whether Mike gets a mention anywhere. I read one interview with him about the book when he was talking about the Hank Janson series...

Pure Gold
'You know, I can't keep up with you. If I hadn't met you in person, I quite honestly would NOT believe you really existed. I just COULDN'T. You do so MUCH... if half of what goes into your zines is to be believed, you've read more at the age of 17 than I have at the age of 32 - LOTS more'

Forgot to mention - just as a sidenote - Gold was still dabbling in sf & fantasy in the 1970s as I've just sold a Kyrik sword & sorcery novel on ebay by Gardner F. Fox, which was a publication of David Gold & Sons. Printed in the USA, but with a UK price on it, this was part of what must have been a very short-lived line by 'Paramount Books'.'You know, I can't keep up with you.

I can't see David Gold mentioning me. I didn't deal with him much. David Warburton ran Compact Books, which was the arm of the company which published NW and the paperbacks. I think the Golds were recovering American titles off and on for years. Old man Gold (who had a gold Roller with the number plate God 1) started as an importer. I remember David Gold wanting me to write a text which, he confidentially explained, was just an excuse to run pictures of 'ladies in perogative poses'. His Mallapropisms were famous. Wonder if they edited the book themselves.Pre-order or Buy my latest titles in Europe:
