 Dear Mr Morgan In my teens I had every one of your books but after a short spell in hospital found that my victorian parents had thrown them all away (something about the burning of books leads to the burning of people springs to mind) deeming them "pornographic". Now in my 30th year I wanted to replace my collection and happened upon your website. Hallelujah isbn numbers for most books my wallet came out like a flash. I really just wanted to thank you for creating the legendary Russ Tobin a rather decent chap whose exploits I enjoyed enormously during my formative years and hope to enjoy again on the replacement of my collection. Many thanks Simon Taylor

Dear Simon...Thank you very much for writing. It's wonderful to learn of a reader returning to the Tobin fold! Amazon.co.uk do quite a trade in the backlist as well as selling Russ's latest adventure 'TOBIN GOES CUCKOO' Great to hear from you. Let me know if you succeed in replenishing your collection. Very best wishes...Stanley

Hi Stanley Thanks for dedicating and signing my copy of "Tobin Goes Cuckoo". It took me a couple of days to read due largely to work commitments and I really enjoyed it. It took me right back in time to my teens when I bought the rest of your "comedy" books (new if possible - 2nd hand bookshops and jumble sales turned up the rest)and read them many many times over! I always fancied becoming a holiday rep/courier but never got round to it. Or a croupier handyman safari guide either for that matter! Such is life eh? I wonder how many other guys reading this can identify with my reminiscing? Best Wishes and I hope the next book will appear quicker than the last!

Hi Steve So pleased you enjoyed CUCKOO. If there are other guys out there who can identify with your reminiscing I'd really like to hear from them about their 'Tobin history'. And I'll make sure the next Tobin adventure is out a lot quicker than the last! Keep in touch. Very best wishes...Stanley

 While I was working in Mallorca an older lady older than my mum who is 45 passed me a bag of book the majority were shite an alien invasion and the usual mills and boons book but in the shite i came across the sewing machine man with the dodgy 70's cover i decided not to let the guy on the cover in his 40's who was apparently the 22 year old tobin affect me as i myself am only 23 and would be worrie if any guys i met resembled that. Tobins adventure made me laugh out loud and also my mum and dad and now my brother who ironically is a door to door sales man!!! Now i want more but i want to read the books in order any advice on where to buy the book cheap as im a poor young girl who wants to read them in order would be most welcome.

Dear Sarah...Thank you so much for writing. You have a delightful turn of phrase! Most of the Tobin books are available on Amazon.co.uk and also occasionally on eBay. If any readers can help Sarah out with information I'd be very grateful. But Sarah it's not absolutely necessary to read the books in order. Each one is a separate adventure though often with narrative links to others. My thanks again and best wishes to your Mum Dad and brother. Stanley.

I've just received my signed copy of Cuckoo and can't wait to start reading. However I am going to wait until I have finished Tobin Among the Stars as I continually read from Sewing Machine Man through the whole series again and again and again. etc. Thanks Stan.
Stanley Morgan Wednesday, 6 April 2005 17:53
And thank you Tony. I sincerely hope you enjoy CUCKOO as much as you obviously enjoy all the others. Boy what a testimonial! Appreciation and best wishes from me and Russ.

I first started to read the tobin books way back in the early 70s and so much wanted to be like RT. that I wrote to you and asked your advise on becoming a courier.. you were kind enough to write back and give me some advice but unfortunatley I never did take your up your suggestions and recommendations...still its great to see he is back but Im sad to say I will not be trying to follow in his footsteps
Stanley Morgan Sunday, 3 April 2005 15:07
Hi Andrew! I remember your letter very well and it's so good to hear from you again. Lucky escape huh? Russ has lead so many clean-cut young fellas astray. I'm glad I escaped. Very best wishes...Stan

Hi just wanted to note my appreciation of the Russ tobin books. I discovered them in the home of my neighbour who I baby-sat for in the late 70's. I read them all and got hours of enjoyment from them. I soooo wanted to be Russ Tobin (Buzz would have done as second best!) I now own a secondhand bookshop and am pleased to report that they still sell pretty well!! Steve

I have just tracked down copies of two other films in which Stan appears "The Silent Weapon" & "The Square Mile Murder". Am not sure what the quality will be like as I think the tapes are quite old..watch this space!

The screen grabs of Stan in Konga are now up in the FILMS section. Not an official DVD release (looks like it was mastered from a VHS copy) so the quality isn't brilliant...but that just about sums Konga up!! Got a copy of "The L-Shaped Room" on DVD now also so expect some more pics up soon.
Sion/Sinner619 Sunday, 20 February 2005 22:34
Man... they don't make movie posters like they used to do they? That's awesome - maybe I'll put some effort in and try and track one down - if such a thing exists!

There's also another full set of Russ Tobin books for sale on Ebay.
Stanley Morgan Monday, 21 February 2005 18:19
Not bad considering most of the books had pages detached from the spines! Obviously very well read. Thanks David. Hope you enjoy your collection as much as these. Best wishes...Stan

The world hasn't been quite the same since Russ hung up the gloves has it? It's good to have you back Stan - and thanks for everything. It would have a pretty dull adolescence without you! ..and top work on the site guys! Wish I'd thought of it. Keep it up it's looking great.
Stanley Morgan Wednesday, 2 February 2005 15:52
So glad you made contact Sion. And yes hats off to the boys for the site. Lets all hope we are sharing a Tobin renaissance.Ready when you are Mr De Mille!

I see that those 17 Russ Tobin books went for quite a hefty sum. Unfortunately beyond my finances or else I would have bid! I'll complete my collection yet!
Rob Wednesday, 2 February 2005 08:05
Wow! £46.72 that's pretty impressive!

Hi I recently found a different cover from the one pictured on this site of Randy Comfort Rise Again more in line with the other titillating cover pictures. As soon as I scan it I'll send it to you Rob?
Rob Tuesday, 18 January 2005 23:41
Excellent - yes please do!
