M&D: Eco re hollow Eart

[Axel W. Anderson V]

To anyone interested in Hollow Earth theories (there are many, but
most are variants of what pynchonoid said), the book Subterranean
Worlds: A Critical Anthology has a great selection of exerpts spanning
the last few hundred years.  Here's an Amazon link:

Also, I would recommend Herbert Reed's The Green Child.  It's a really
fantastic little book, wonderfully weird and beautiful, featuring a
hollow earth and somewhat based on this rather strange account.

There are numerous other books concerned w/ a hollow earth...it's
qutie a fascinating subject.
