Who Goes There (The Thing) PB Novel for free.

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?

...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:

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:
