Sam Fuller

Amongst the mass of paperwork I've been digging through are a whole load of clippings of obituaries of writers and publishers. Source material for my old fanzine PBO, which I published back in the 1990s on behalf of the British Association of Paperback Collectors, which had a patchy existence and eventually fizzled out in 1998. I found this one (below), which was referenced in PBO issue 8 for which I compiled the following bibliography. I've updated it to include a recently published novel, rediscovered by Hard Case Crime
