Theodore Sturgeon: Collectable? by
Mike
I've become quite a fan of Theodore Sturgeon recently, as I've finally
had a chance to read some of the volumes of his collected short
stories. A quick search on the ABE indicates that even some of his most
famous works, such as _More than Human_, or limited editions, such as
_Without Sorcery_ (85...

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

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

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?

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

I personally apologise to everyone who reads these groups for my

this is for someone else, but I loved the concept so much

dispute, I make this post, in the hope that we can finally resolve the

I have a couple of old books which have
woodcuts that I'd like to scan or digitize.
Unfortunately, being old books, they're

By implication, his sidekick Kevin O'Brien must have been lying
