Ace "Double" format with the author's contribution bound opposite each other. The Chandler section contains a sampling of his work, including a hard-to-find first Grimes story and a story from his alternate history of Australia. Hoffman's wide range of fannish and professional writing is represented by eleven works, including the classic "The Truth About Steam." Full color dustjacket art by Kelly Freas.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A good, typically interesting NESFA double, Mar 4 2000
By Todd Mason - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Up to the Sky in Ships / In & Out of Quandry (Hardcover)
A nice collection of Chandler stories and an even nicer (because harder to obtain otherwise) collection of Hoffman essays and occasional writings from sf faanzines (Lee Hoffman was among the first wave of sf fans to be more likely to write about fandom itself than the fiction that first drew the fans together--such writing was dubbed "faanish" rather than "fannish," adding "a"s as the distance from primary-sf interest grew...faans produced some of the first comics fanzines, and the first punk fanzines). Hoffman worked with Larry Shaw on INFINITY SCIENCE FICTION (the magazine that first published Arthur C. Clarke's short story, "The Star") and went on to become a Spur Award-winning western fiction writer and occasional sf and fantasy writer; her fanzine QUANDRY remains legendary within sf fandom.
