What’s In A Size or Where Have All The MMPBs Gone?
Thereâs been a lot of people advocating online recently for the return of the Mass Market Paperback or MMPB.

“Every passing hour brings the Solar System forty three thousand miles closer to Globular Cluster M13 in Hercules — and still there are some misfits who insist that there is no such thing as progress.”

“Karate is a form of martial arts in which people who have had years and years of training can using only their hands and feet make some of the worst movies in the history of the world.”

“The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.”

“No drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.”

Hi Al, I LOVE that people love your work so much. Was just reading reviews of Write the Fight Right: they all adore it. It's brilliant. Now, I'm off to do some reading of my own. :)

Hi BradleyWarhammer novels? I used to play Warhammer FRPG and Battle years ago. :)
Oooo I like dark fantasy. Thank you for adding me. =)http://www.cardshark.com/content/view...
and my dark fantasy fav:
I've just added all the books of The Belgariad and The Mallorean, along with Belgarath The Sorcerer and Polgara The Sorceress to my shelves. It's terribly sad news to hear that David Eddings has died. These books are part of the reason I became an author.
Hi from down under Alan, thanks for being a friend. I hope to hear more from you.Blessings CJ
It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Alan!
