Today Evan Lewis digs deeper into the newsprint archives of yesteryear.
Recently he spotlighted an appearance of “Pickup” (a.k.a. “The Whosis Kid”) in a Philly paper.
“This time,” Evan says, “we present stuff from the Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph (July 1936), The Camden Courier-Post (Dec. 1938) and the Vancouver Sun (Jan. 1937).“
Yeah, as I was thinking, the bibliographic record of Hammett in the papers is practically untouched, and long past time for excavation.
