Currently Reading


Am currently reading, and enjoying, “The ‘Lost’ Sam Spade Scripts," edited by Martin Grams, Jr. Martin, as previously noted in this space, has written a great many books about old radio and television shows. Some of those books (and this latest one) were published by BearManor Media.

“The ‘Lost’ Sam Spade Scripts” features an introduction, and then thirteen scripts from the 1940s/1950s “Adventures of Sam Spade” radio series. The radio program (as shown in the accompanying image) starred Howard Duff.

Here’s the amazon.com link for the book:

At the end of August, I'll be part of a panel discussion, with Martin (and other authors), at the "Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention," in Aberdeen, Maryland. Martin is one of the convention's organizers.
