SciFi Magazine, available today in major bookstores, has a full-page column devoted to the Tom Swift Centennial, written by Jeff Berkwits. As Berkwits writes, "For scifi fans of a certain age, the name Tom Swift brings back fond memories of rollicking adventures, futuristic contraptions, and, believe it or not, droll adverbs."

The article goes on to discuss both the original and Junior series with photos of the covers of Tom Swift and his Airship and Tom Swift and the Visitor of Planet X, plus a brief discussion of the phenomenon of Tom Swifties.

The Sheraton Mission Valley in San Diego has agreed to host the 100th Anniversary Tom Swift Convention. When making reservations, be sure to mention that you are part of the "Tom Swift Convention" group to get a special rate for a limited time while rooms last.
