Also included are facsimiles of his handmade books and publications, all of which he felt to be of incalculable importance to civilisation.His controversial stories about an advanced prehistoric civilisation and a race of evil beings living at the center of the earth appeared in 'Amazing Stories' and other landmark sci-fi publications of the ’40s and ’50s.\u003cbr\u003eA decade later, he was living in relative isolation and devoting himself to rock book research, a course of study that he shared with a devoted group of correspondents.
