During my youth, I had several Tom Swift Jr. adventures — sort of Hardy Boys with less mystery and more implausible science.
At the Con on Monday, I wandered into a used bookseller who had some of these — including the very first one listed here in a new Lileks “Jetsam Cove.”
Neat.
I’ve re-bought most of the TS Jr.’s, plus some Hugh Walters (similar style UK series) and Tom Corbett. I’m on the lookout for another series, Rick Blaine.
Be forewarned, the last four or so TS Jr.’s can only be had for utterly ridiculous prices, even for eBay!
