A combination of some successful eBay sales at the end of 2005, a tasty set of auction books coming up, and an SF specialty dealer willing to sell me some choice items out of his personal library, has me buying a boatload of unusually valuable SF/F/H books (even for me): Arthur C. Clarke's...

Does anyone know if Aster Publishing has stopped publishing Mercator's World? I just purchased a subscription a few months ago and now I find the website gone, phone number not working and no magazine. Any info appreciated.

I recently acquired a 1st printing trade of The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe, Farrar 1979, signed by the author very boldly, in black marker on the first (blue) front end page ... nice autograph! It got me thinking about a collection of Mercury astronaut books; good firsts and/or firsts/signed on the...

It is a curious thing that little oddities so catch our attention after years of neglect and lead us to question bigger things. That happened to me this evening. I was walking by my bookcase of Russian authors (in translation - I can only read enough Russian to follow their chess magazines), when...

Hello all, I will be visiting Miami for the first time in a few days and wish to visit some used bookstores. Does anyone have any recommendations? I am interested in first edition mysteries, hard-boiled and noir mostly. Thanks in advance, AL

After my recent trip to Miami, I figured out why no one responded to my query of a couple of weeks ago: quite simply, the pickings there seem rather slim. I had to wait till Sunday really to explore. Two of the places I wanted to check out were closed, but I did go to the 2 branches of The...

Michael Adams has been plaguing a UK TV Media group with his usual brand of obnoxious argument, but has just stooped to making very insulting comments about my wife. If anyone can supply me with his UK land address I would be extremely grateful. Please email me at...

Famous actor Michael Madsen has written 5 books, mostly poetry. I'm looking for any Michael's book over the net. I would like to download it from internet, only few pages if possible ?!

Would anyone have a scan of Michael Shaara's signature or know of a URL on the web where one might reside? Lovely bio at son Jeff's site: http://jeffshaara.com/michaelbio.html Thank you.

I really enjoyed Michael Shea's story, especially with it's Lovecraftian mythos connections and my interest in that area. It seems to have gone though a number of limited editions. The one I have is denoted 'PC' and was Karl Edward Wagner's personal copy which I acquired a few years ago. Can anyone...

This evening at a local Goodwill store I picked up: Ulysses S. Grant, Memoirs of U. S. Grant, 1885 Webster & Co., N.Y., Vol 1 only (2 vols in all). This is the first edition, in dark green cloth boards with gilt titles and gold medallions on front and back boards. Weak front hinge but holding...
