Notes
-
Wyn was famous for paying his authors as little as he could get away with, which prompted David McDaniel to encode a comment about him within one of his novelisations of the TV series The Man from U.N.C.L.E. The first letters of each chapter's title in The Monster Wheel Affair when lined up read 'A.A. Wyn is a tightwad' (Tuck, p.471).
