People ask me all the time if I ever miss Tucson and think about moving back. I tell them that I do miss it, but I don't think about moving back because the Tucson I grew up in doesn't exist anymore. With the dismantling of Magic Carpet Golf, that just about finishes up the last vestige of the Tucson I knew.

"Wow...all that and not one mention of editor Forry Ackerman, without whose monstrous collection of stills, posters, etc., there would be no FMoF magazine."

Amen. Forry was the driving force behind Famous Monsters, not James Warren. Warren fronted the money, but it was Forry's dream.

Might as well just use a piece of ribbon and save yourself $25.

Clayton Bailey and Jim Bauer have been doing this sort of thing for years.
