Well the other day I happened to be walking by a used bookstore sadly closing up so like a vulture I descended into the stacks. Picked up quite a bit including one or two books by Brackett. Just finished The Big Jump which was quite enjoyable and started to wonder if there might be any plans to publish further Planet Stories featuring her work. Failing that anyone know any good sources to locate more of her stuff?

We don't have any Brackett lined up right now, although we are all big fans of her work here and have certainly discussed the possibility of bringing out more of it one day.
Haffner Press has also been putting out a lot of Brackett of late if you need to satisfy an immediate fix.

Thanks for the reply and the tip. Would definitely look forward to seeing more of her work but have enjoyed the line and the chance to discover some old authors. Planet Stories certainly resparked my interest in delving more into the 'classic' SF, fantasy. Hopefully after I finish my stint at being a student again I'll restart my sub. Thanks for the good work!

This will tell you more than you could want to know :)

This seems like a good thread for my post......
Was in my FLGS today and found two, just-in Leigh Brackett books:
Shannach - The Last: Farewell to Mars
Lorelei of the Red Mist
Apparently, there's a publisher named Haffner that's been putting out some of this style of books. The store manager also told me they had previously published a book Brackett wrote with her husband. Can't remember the name.

Sweet! Found the books at Haffner Press. http://www.haffnerpress.com/
The book with her husband (Edmond Hamilton) COULD be Stark and the Star Kings.
Yes, its Stark and the Star Kings. There is also an (out of print) collection called Martian Quest which you may be able to find, also excellent.
Haffner also do some Kuttner which is good fun.

How Fawesome! Was in my FLGS today and, lo and behold, there was a copy of Stark and the Star Kings on the shelf! My life is blessed.
