GONE NORTH is only second non-western and I wish that he had written more, although I've thoroughly enjoyed all of them... well, with the possible exception of THE COUNCIL OF THREE, a contemporary novel about embezzlers and a search for a lost gold mine in Mexico.lovepulpwesternshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06187734775664710657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-3231853554208561502015-06-21T10:12:26.495-05:002015-06-21T10:12:26.495-05:00James, you made me pull this out of the to be read...James, you made me pull this out of the to be read mountain and give it a go right now. I'm glad i did. Seltzer keeps moving the narrative so fast that you never notice any of the improbabilities when you're reading. <br /><br />I think the movie/serial comparison is quite apt, many of his stories got made into movies as well. All in all a fun quick read, and one i'm happy i read.Pulp Flakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05849849711971391123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-70362378001754750312015-06-21T04:54:11.353-05:002015-06-21T04:54:11.353-05:00There are about a dozen of Seltzer's Westerns ...There are about a dozen of Seltzer's Westerns available as free downloads from archive.net and Project Gutenberg.Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16527241089629026268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-82196086296938618982015-06-20T20:49:27.289-05:002015-06-20T20:49:27.289-05:00I haven't ordered it yet, but I'm going to...I haven't ordered it yet, but I'm going to.

You might be surprised as who's been included in that forthcoming wave of ten books (and I'm all ears as to suggestions to reprint in the future).<br /><br />At the risk of taking advantage of James's blog, I wanted to let everyone know that Series 1 of The Argosy Library is available as one heavily-discounted set in softcover, hardcover, and ebook formats at:<br /><br />http://www.altuspress.com/shop/the-argosy-library-series-1-ten-book-set/Moringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10087366427827344379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-25220747406858296932015-06-19T22:43:58.385-05:002015-06-19T22:43:58.385-05:00Thanks for the info, Curt.
