Canaveral Press - Original Books

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"After assembling a couple of volumes of Burroughs' previously uncollected short stories and preparing several of his unpublished novels for release, I was asked by the owners of the company, Jack Biblo and Jack Tannen, to write a book about him.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:

    “Elsa Bannister: The Chinese say “It is difficult for love to last long; therefore one who loves passionately is cured of love, in the end.”

    Elsa: There’s more to the proverb: “Human nature is eternal; therefore one who follows his nature keeps his original nature, in the end.””
    —Orson Welles (1915–1985)

    “Writing long books is a laborious and impoverishing act of foolishness: expanding in five hundred pages an idea that could be perfectly explained in a few minutes. A better procedure is to pretend that those books already exist and to offer a summary, a commentary.”
    —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
