Grumbles From the Grave

Robert A. Heinlein

edited by Virginia Heinlein

A Del Rey Book/Ballantine Books, New York. January 1990. Hardcover in dust jacket. 283 pages. (6½ X 9½). Foreword by the editor, Heinlein’s wife. This is a series of letters from and to Heinlein and they show much of Heinlein’s personality and his opinions on publishers, reviews, writing methods, fan mail, and quite a few other subjects. It appears that most of the letters were to and from Heinlein’s agent, Lurton Blassingame. Some of the letters were to John W. Campbell, Jr. This volume has many photos of Heinlein and his wife at different stages of their lives. There is a short bibliography of Heinlein’s works.
