About this ebook

American author, editor, and critic William Parker White, better known to most as Anthony Boucher, made countless contributions to the fields of mystery and science fiction. After beginning his career as a mystery writer at 16, Boucher went on to become a New York Times mystery critic, a host for several radio programs, and the founding editor of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.

This comprehensive biobibliography places particular emphasis on the writings and edited publications that established his reputation among readers of science fiction. Several appendices include complete bibliographic citations for Boucher's novels, articles, short stories, unpublished works, reviews, radio plays, anthologies, translations, and other written works.

Ratings and reviews

UPDATE--the PDF version is fine so probably an error on my part. The book itself is comprehensive and thoroughly researched, but it is a dry read, and probably a purchase for historians and those interested in the history of the mystery and SF fields rather than the casual reader. I'd suggest getting the print version as all the photos have been taken out of the ebook by the publisher. To say I was not impressed to find this out only after purchasing the book is an understatement.
