Looking for Arcs and Proofs of Forthcoming Science Fiction

Hi All,

Are there dealers who specialize in ARCs and Proofs? I'm only interested in
forthcoming (2004 titles) science fiction.

Thanks,

Ned

Again, apologies to the group for having to post on this topic again,
ABE bookseller Chris Barker seems to want to burst into every book
discussion site on the internet and make these accusations about me to
anyone he thinks might listen, so I have to reply...

position to reprimand you.

Well, you can but hope!

You oppose public discussion of your custimer service

On the contrary, I'm quite willing to discuss customer service e.g.
when The Haunted River customer bought your very expensive "signed"
M.R. James book and then queried the "signature". You've admitted
that already, several times. In your own words:

I will happily discuss this privately with the person who bought the book.
Indeed, I did so two years ago. They certainly did not ask for a refund
after we discussed this very matter.

To which I replied:
Thank you for that information. I'm interested to learn that you were
able to pacify your Haunted River customer and convince her that the
signature, in Mr. Dalby's opinion, "could be his."

Chris "Flatsigned" Barker again:
Don't get forget to ask Santa for a life this Christmas.

Funny, I, and I suspect others in this newsgroup, were just about to
recommend the same thing to you. Do you really have nothing better to
do?

50-line screeds of nasty lies do not a life make. Do you really have
nothing better to do?

P.S. Ever heard of the quote "Methinks he doth protest too much"?

Barry Levin (www.raresf.com), LW Currey and David Aronovitz are perhaps the
biggest, although proofs are not their main focus.

www.abebooks.com is the best source, followed by Ebay. I'm a collector of SF
proofs myself. Are you a collector, and/or do you just want to read stuff
before anyone else?

I list a few, but don't think I have any SCi Fi or 2004. Earl
