> I just saw a pile of LR Hubbards 1930’s SciFi/Adventure novels on sale at a local discount joint-they are paperback copies issues by an outfit called “Galaxy” press (Hollywood Ca). After 100 pages of the novel(I bought a copy of “The Great Secret”)-there is the usual slavish “biography” of the LRH. These were originally priced at $9.95/copy-so I guess $1.50 means that they were not hot sellers.  
> at any rate, I can join the Galaxy book club-for 9.95/month.. I can get a complete set of LRH's pulp novels! Or would I be inviting the CO into my life? Can’t risk getting some bat thetans here!

I’m pretty sure you posted this in the wrong thread, Ralph.
