Reviews

Ashley's study of hacks pounding away at typewriters, bullying editors and money-pinching publishers is a rich mine of information. When complete, his trilogy will undoubtedly form the definitive history of SF from the pulp to the paperback. I acquired a copy of your masterly Transformations a couple of days ago and I've been reading it almost non-stop ever since. It is a marvellous book... Page by page I find myself wanting to take all the magazines down from the shelves and read them again... A wonderful book. Capaciously researched yet incisively argued.
