Re: ERDNASE
I want to thank Tom Sawyer and Bill Mullins for taking the time to take notice of my work, ARTIFICE, RUSE & ERDNASE. Given the great respect I feel for both these men's work and the influence Thomas Sawyer's work in particular has had on my own thinking concerning the authorship question, nothin...

Thank you so much for your words about Artifice, Ruse & Erdnase. Knowing it has brought pleasure and, hopefully, enlightenment to such a careful reader has really made my day.

Re: ERDNASE
Hi Clay, I fully agree that if McKinney did indeed have a large inventory of The Expert on hand when they declared bankruptcy, that could have been one source of the half price copies. The newspaper notices announcing their pending bankruptcy mention a law firm that had an inventory list of their a...
Re: ERDNASE
David,
You're absolutely right. I was thinking of Hoffmann's commentaries on THE EXPERT and not the work he is mainly known for today. That's the danger of coming at a subject too much from your own field of interest.

Re: ERDNASE
I agree with Richard that this one (#5) is especially tricky as the precision with which the writer describes the working of the 3rd finger of the left hand sounds very much like Erdnase. However the colloquial tone in which Prof. Hoffmann cloaked the imperative of the second sentence just isn't Erd...
Re: ERDNASE
I just want to thank Thomas Sawyer for commenting on my Artifice, Ruse & Erdnase . Anyone who has read Artifice knows how enormously I respect his monograph on The Man Who Was Erdnase. An appropriate title for it - given how many German references pop up when looking into Erdnase's identity - wo...

Sure could have used an index, though.
Good point. Artifice, Ruse & Erdnase was first conceived as an ebook, in which of course keywords can be easily searched for.

I'm not going to post buying information for my book on this forum; but I want to let you know that I will sign copies for participants on this thread. Just identify yourself as such in the buyer's comments section of the order form and let us know you'd like it signed. You can check my blog (see ab...

Re: ERDNASE
I'm running a blog series on S.W. Erdnase as a literary and historical figure. This is to build interest in him among those who don't know who he is. I don't address the identity question. The first posting for anyone interested is on Erdnase's place in the Chicago Renaissance, the intense flurry of...
Re: ERDNASE
Bill Mullins asked me to say something about my book, ARTIFICE, RUSE & ERDNASE: The Search For One Who May Not Want To Be Found, scheduled to come out on or around March 19th, both in an e-edition and in hard cover. I just want to make a couple of points about the book. When I started researchin...
Re: ERDNASE
Does anyone know where one could find a copy of James Harto's Chandra, Mind Reading System?
Re: ERDNASE
Bill, no apology necessary. I always look forward to your posts and appreciate the great amount of original material you have found and shared freely. I feel all of us writing about Erdnase are in your debt.

Re: ERDNASE
Bill, I don't believe I claimed in my article that Chicago was the only city that Erdnase could have published The Expert . It was probably the most prominently known safe place to publish such a book, which might well explain why an author would take the trouble to travel there to publish -- or it ...
Re: ERDNASE
Has anybody been able to run down the Sunday News Tribune of Duluth for Nov 10,1901? I'd love to see the article on Sanders' writing plans.
Re: ERDNASE
Marty, could you give us more details on the manuscript Sanders had with him in Minnesota? Did he just tell the reporter about it? Or did the reporter see it himself?
Re: ERDNASE
Thanks, Richard, for your query. My research is going to be published in the Magicana Erdnase issue, but in quick summary: by publishing in Chicago where the Comstock Laws were almost universally ignored, Erdnase would have much less need of anonymity than in most cities in the United States, includ...
Re: ERDNASE
Does anyone know when Drake published their first book? Did they publish anything before 1903?
Re: ERDNASE
Richard, Thanks for the clarification on the plagiarism from Prof. Hoffman. I admit Hilliar is a dark horse. If the time for trying to identify Erdnase on one's own might not be drawing to a close, I would have undoubtedly waited for more evidence. R. F. Foster and Roterberg tempt me as well, which ...
Re: ERDNASE
I'm surprised Genii's announcement that it was going to expose Erdnase's identity hasn't led to a bit more fun speculation on this site. I have no smoking gun, but have decided to take a stab at identifying Erdnase to see if can stir things up a bit. Compare these two passages: There is no branch of...

Re: IGenii Technical Help
Thanks, Richard and Joe, for coming to my rescue. Joe, your question was enough to make me realize the problem was probably with Firefox, and indeed it was though they buried the fact they don't support Adobe Reader without a special plugin very deep considering how popular the Reader is. With Firef...

I am a new subscriber to Genii, and I'm trying to look up Tony Giorgio's columns online. I've been looking for some sort of access to technical help, because I can't see the old issues online for lack of a plugin. When I click the download plug in here icon, it only says the suitable plug in is not ...
