Pretty good books, as I recall.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-25018622995849170022013-10-24T08:55:27.459-05:002013-10-24T08:55:27.459-05:00Scott, I've read that book by the Fugates as w...Scott, I've read that book by the Fugates as well as the Gardner bio by Dorothy B.

And I've got THE DANGER ZONE from The Lost Classics series which has a story or two about other characters. I'm going to have to look for this book. Thanks for the tip. <br /><br />Oh, and I also liked how ESG's name on something could be considered a selling point. I've got a western, Death on Treasure Trail by Don Davis, that has an intro by ESG and his stamp of approval on the cover.<br /><br />There's another fascinating book out there: Secrets of the World's Best-Selling Writer: The Storytelling Techniques of Erle Stanley Gardner by Francis L. and Roberta B. Fugate. It was published in 1980 and is out of print now. Houston's public library has a copy. The authors researched all of ESG's papers--housed at UT Austin--and how he taught himself how to write. Frankly, it's a great story of one writer's education and is like a textbook in itself. Scott D.
