Original Books
Canaveral also published original books by Lupoff, E. E. Doc Smith, L. Sprague de Camp and Catherine Crook de Camp. Lupoff recalled, "After assembling a couple of volumes of Burroughs' previously uncollected short stories and preparing several of his unpublished novels for release, I was asked by the owners of the company, Jack Biblo and Jack Tannen, to write a book about him. That was the genesis of Edgar Rice Burroughs: Master of Adventure, my first book."
Canaveral stopped adding titles to its catalog in the late 1960s. Some of its existing titles were reprinted in the 1970s. The firm closed in the late 1970s.

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or books:
“The real antichrist is he who turns the wine of an original idea into the water of mediocrity.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“So here they are, the dog-faced soldiers, the regulars, the fifty-cents-a-day professionals riding the outposts of the nation, from Fort Reno to Fort Apache, from Sheridan to Stark. They were all the same. Men in dirty-shirt blue and only a cold page in the history books to mark their passing. But wherever they rode and whatever they fought for, that place became the United States.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
