Title: Who Goes There (The Thing) PB Novel for free.
Post by: locustsofdeath! on 29 August, 2011, 08:29:52 AM
Hello all, just paying it forward.

I've got a PB of John W. Campbell's "Who Goes There", which was the inspiration for The Thing. I know there are plenty of fans of that film on the board - the book is gripping in it's own right. Anyway, not sure why I'm trying to sell it to you when I'm not trying to sell it to you; free to whoever claims it first.

Cheers my friend, do you need my address again, or is it now burned into your brain?

And shall i just come round yours and sift through your unwanted bits (madam!), saving a ton of digital ink in future threads such as this? :D

:D...I've got boxes of books to go through yet, so I'll let you know if anything catches my eye. I've still got your address - look for this at the end of the week.

Sorry to the rest of you lads. Wish I had copies enough for all!

Then again Mrs of Death probably wouldn't have been happy with you if you had a dozen copies of the book lying around in the house, as I'd have taken one off you too ;)

There is a cheaper version due out for Xmas if people are interested in it:

www.amazon.co.uk/Who-Goes-There-John-Campbell/dp/0575091037/

There is a Kindle listing at Amazon.com:

www.amazon.com/Who-Goes-There-ebook/dp/B003XVYLGW

I am not sure of copyright status (a lot of the early sci-fi pulps never had their copyright renewed) and it might be available fro free from Wowio:
