(urth) New Lafferty collection from Centipede Press

[Fred Kiesche]

He ran a publishing house. There are quite a few of us that bought books
that were never sent. In my case, an advanced order, paid in full, for an
anthology series of the short work of Clifford D. Simak.

So I'm out several hundred dollars. As are many other CDS fans.
