A long-time dealer said he was writing a book about his years in the biz. 0

Was it Jamie of Southern California Comics or Terry of the Yorba Linda show. Or was it...? Want to get it and can't remember who it was. I know it's being published by the awesomely weird publisher (in a good way) McFarland Press. 

Any help here?

Could it be this book from McFarland ($29.95)?

ok, that's it and thank you. Hopefully it's a good read as McFarland isn't especially well know for their covers. Better when they left them a blank with just the book title. If you looked on the McFarland website and found it, I apologize for not finding it there myself.

Should be a great read. Jamie has been collecting and dealing comics probably 45+ years. I've known him since the El Cortez SDCC days. Should be a great cast of characters and some awsome stories. How cool would it be for there to be a book with, say, chapters from other long time comic dealers?    One of the only people I know that had a COMPLETE Atlas collection. Every single one! 

Please give us a review when you read it!

I will second that, and I hope it turns out to be a great read

I would say true comic book collectors, who have been there, done that...it still is exciting to see books I never seen before and some of the great new publications which respect comic book fandom...
