Hereward Carrington: author, psychic researcher, science communicator and his blue books. Dr W. P. Palmer, Associate, Curtin University, Australia Email: bill_palmer15@hotmail.com ABSTRACT This study is a bio-bibliography of Hereward Carrington and his literary connection with Emanuel Haldeman-Julius, the editor and publisher of 500 million Little Blue Books.

Though controversial at times, his scientific integrity was generally acknowledged and his standing as a scientist has increased over time. The study fits well within the topic of ‘Roles of authors, editors and publishers’ in the theme of ‘Publishing Practices: Past, Present, and Future’ (Theme 1). The connections between Carrington as author and Emanuel

American psychic investigator and writer
Hereward Carrington (17 October 1880 – 26 December 1958) was an American investigator of psychic phenomena and author. His subjects included several of the most high-profile cases of apparent psychic ability of his times, and he wrote over 100 books on subjects including the paranormal and psychical research, conjuring and stage magic, and alternative medicine.

Early life
[edit]Carrington was born in St Helier, Jersey in 1880. He emigrated to the United States in 1888 (although it is a common misconception he emigrated in 1899).
