Well, was he born in 1924, or in 1916? It can't be both. My own reference books show the date in 1916 to be the correct one.

He's my great uncle. I;ll consult my grandmother and get back to you.

hardcover?
The article says his output was all paperback originals, but very early on some of his work came out in hardcover runs. For instance, I have a hardcover copy of Steel Mirror. But I don't know enough about the publishing history to be sure the hardcover came first.

Could there be some more attention paid to his westerns? A couple of those [BIG COUNTRY and SMOKY VALLEY] are genre classics, still sought after today. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.9.135.162 (talk) 16:03, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Can anyone verify the Carr quote about Cloud Cuckoo Land ? No one would characterize Matt Helm's world as "unrealistically idealistic state where everything is perfect". Nitpyck (talk) 04:35, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
