Theodore Sturgeon: Collectable? by Mike

Alamo City aka Mark Gordon aka GordLack books by [email protected]
I think many of us may have been duped by Mark Gordon aka Alamo City Comics. Although I can well believe that he did originally contact Isomedia to validate the John Pelan issue, because the two of them have locked horns frequently before, everything else he has said and done is pretty obviously...

Horizontal storage of books damaging? by LJM
Is this true? ISTR from my record (vinyl) collecting youth that one never stored LPs and singles horizontally because heat could warp the vinyl, but hardback books? Can the 'boards' that form the cover warp over time? I'm getting a little anal about this only after investing in a £75 copy of...

Any booksellers going to BookExpo this year? by Melinda
I will be attending BookExpo this year (I am a generalist with a shop out of Boston) for the first time and am wondering what to expect. Are there any other booksellers in this group that are also attending? Anybody that has attended in the past with any words of wisdom?

Clean Sheets All Round by Haunted River
Having finally established that John Pelan did in fact lie about stock ownership with his then ISP, I am perfectly happy to drop the issue and move on, despite the fact that he still refuses to issue an apology. I personally apologise to everyone who reads these groups for my contribution to the...

woodcut scans by Ted Eisenstein
I have a couple of old books which have woodcuts that I'd like to scan or digitize. Unfortunately, being old books, they're fragile enough that a flat-bed scanner won't work: the spines would crack in an instant. What's the best way to get those images into my computer, short of dismembering the...

Independent Corroboration: Pelan Lied by The People's Poet
You chaps here may have missed this recent independent confirmation that Pelan did indeed lie: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.books.ghost-fiction/msg/89b15169c8d4dbf6?hl=en By implication, his sidekick Kevin O'Brien must have been lying shamelessly too. Clearly his pals having been...
