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.
