Happy to see that John Buchan's The Thirty-Nine Steps, first published in 1915, hit the NPR Top 100 "Killer Thrillers" list at no. 51. Some books never go out of style, thankfully.
And Kate Macdonald's John Buchan: A Companion to the Mystery Fiction (edited by me) racked up another laudatory review, this time in ELT [English Literature in Transition, 1880–1920]: "Macdonald has produced a first-class work of scholarship and a first-class popular guide to the fiction of a remarkable writer..." But ever since the super-selective Jon L. Breen called it "a very impressive book," I've been feeling pretty chuffed.
