And that books were ?Doubles,? two novels for 35[cents]. And that you had no latitude. It had to be 60,000 lines and it had to be an adventure novel. There was no latitude. You were told exactly what to write. And if we didn?t write it for Don Wollheim (science fiction editor at Ace Books), we didn?t sell it.?
