Posted By: <b>JimCrandell</b><p>This may be stretching the definition of allowable topics but here goes<br /><br />Does anyone collect Chip Hilton books here? I read them all numerous times when I was a kid but I traded them with a buddy. I just bought my last one and now have the full set. The books are a great read still.<br /><br />They are being rewritten to adjust for "modern sensibilities" and the rewrites are not very good...sort of like the Hardy Boys.

I believe the re-writes are being done by Clair Bee's son-in-law, if I recall correctly. It includes #24, Fullback Fury, which I think was published around 2000 from a manuscript partially completed at Bee's death.<br /><br /><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2203/1719664132_a046810ac9.jpg"><br /><br />Max<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>JimCrandell</b><p>Thanks Max.<br /><br />I read two of the Bronc Burnett books and they were ok(especially when he struck out Slug Langenegger on his blooper)--not like Chip Hilton though.<br /><br />Did not know of Fullback Fury--guess that is his senior year at college--what a guy--plays intercollegiate football, baseball and basketball and works to pay his way through school.
