Norman V. Lamb

(???? – )

Norman V. Lamb was a Canadian fan and bibliophile from Toronto active in the 1940s. He was a regular contributor to Light.

In the Canadian forces during the Second World War he ended up in the same unit as fellow Canadian fan Bob Gibson and they contrived to arrange book-hunting expeditions. Lamb wrote in Futurian War Digest #38:

Bob Gibson and I spent a five day holiday in Rome last week. We went with the intention of bookhunting and were very successful. When the smoke and dust of battle had settled down we discovered that he had gotten 30 odd books and I had 47. I bought a few good items such as – a first ed. of Haggard's Allan Quartermain, a first of Doyle's Maracot Deep, a first of Crawford's Little City of Hope, a good copy of a late 18th century Asmodeous, And here's the best one – a copy of The Flying Machine and other stories by Ronald Belfort. It was privately printed by Flli Pallotta, Rome in 1912, I believe the author's right name is F. S. Arnold. Ever heard of it?
