Location: UK		What I am feeling nostalgic about at the moment ,Jim,is that whole area of Lost Worlds. I saw a Wildside Press Megapack of books for the Kindle like King Solomon's Mines.Conan Doyle's Professor Challenger,Verne's Journey to the Centre of the Earth,ERBs Pellucidar series and The Land that Time Forgot. Even Bulwer-Littons Vril! All for 0.39,or 99 cents! What a pity that we made the earth so mapped and photographed,and with tourists visiting every corner to the point of killing all that exciting sort of book. And what has happened to exploring new planets in the way of the old pulp authors? Now it seems most books about planets are boring things about human conspiracies,like Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars.I long to go roving over Barsoom 's ancient plains with John Carter and faithful Woola!.Much more fun lol.
