	On Anthony Boucher
		The trademark of the period, visible in the Boucher novels selected for that omnibus, was a conscious artificiality...
		The in-jokes are strictly for the fans, but Boucher's SF shop-talk paints a lurid picture of those days' combined ghastliness and delusive grandeur, with unpolished authors mapping the Ultimate Galactic Future of the Human Race at one cent per word....
		Boucher's mouthpiece character doesn't realize (though surely Boucher himself did) that an ad-hoc gadget like this is precisely the same cheat as the last-chapter introduction of a hitherto unmentioned secret passage which allows whole platoons of murderers to stalk in and out of the "locked" room with their poison vials and blunt instruments.
