Baldwin F. Lee 1913 1987
Island Bees- Manuscript
Grangeville Idaho Circa 1943 1943. Manuscript . No Binding. Very Good. Original typewritten manuscript from the archives of the Ackerman agency. Baldwin was active in the early stages of science fiction fandom; see his obituary in Locus Magazine May 1988. Per Terry Carr in Entropy: "Along with the regular magazine I'm launching a series of Entropy Booklets the first of which is Crime Stalks the Fan World by F. Lee Baldwin. This consists of two stories from the Burbee Shangri-L'Affaires of 1945 and 46: "Crime Stalks The Fan World" and its sequel "The Girl With The Muddy Eyes" the latter of which was so long that Burbee had to serialize it. The stories are excellent satires on tough-guy private-eye stories with authentic fannish themes; Milt Rothman called the latter story "the best piece of fan fiction that ever smashed me in the teeth like a breath of air laden with the fragrance of orange blossoms" so you can see that it's high-class stuff. In addition there's an Introduction written specially for the volume by Bob Tucker and cover and illustrations by Ray Nelson. Copies are now available from the publisher me at 25� each. <br/> <br/> unknown
