[various places]: [various publishers] [1935-2000 with some later additions], 0000 First editions, first US editions, first UK editions, first paperback editions, plus selected later printings. My personal [20th Century] science fiction, fantasy and horror paperback collection, assembled and continuously upgraded over more than 30 years of collecting. 20,000+ books [with the "+" being several thousand---I stopped actually counting quite some time ago]. Remarkable both for the degree of completeness [US from 1939 and up, starting with the first Pocket Books printing of LOST HORIZON, the LA Bantam Tarzan---three variant copies present---and Shadow titles, etc, etc, and even including several hundred "adult xxx" titles; plus vintage UK from 1935 through 1960 plus selected later titles, plus a sampling of English-Language editions from other countries, etc; with an estimated 95% or so of all non-childrens/juvenile genre-labelled titles included, plus selected childrens/juvenile and non-genre-labelled titles] and for superior condition overall [the majority of books being Near Fine or better copies, save for normal paper aging]. The collection includes hundreds of signed/inscribed copies from dozens of authors/editors/artists and other contributors; plus a number of both US and UK paperbacks in Dust Wrapper; etc. I seriously doubt that there are more than a handful of comparable collections that exist anywhere in the world, and it is the only such collection that I have ever seen offered for sale at any price. Serious inquiries only, please. [NB: Due to the physical size/weight of this item, unless other arrangements regarding potential transportation are mutally agreed to, this item is available on a "pick-up" only basis].. Signed. First Edition. Mass Market Paperback. Very Good.

Uk: Macdonald & Jane's, 1979 This Is An Apparent First Of The 12Th In A Series Of 13 Written By Kenneth Bird. "Himself" Is 'A Selfish Irish Dog.' The Series Appears To Be Much Loved But Out Of Print. The 'Ogre' In This Title Is 'A Thing . . . A Steel Dustbin With Arms Reaching Nearly To The Floor.' One Of The Other Series Titles That Appeals To Me Is Himself And The Fake Santas. It Is An Exlibrary Hardcover And Scarce Even As Such. Despite The Many Usual Library Artifacts Present, I Have Rated It Good Plus As It Is Clean And Structurally Sound And The Gilt Titles Are Still Bright. It Looks Like Seven Children Borrowed It Between 1982 And 1991 And There Are Two Stamps, One 'Discard' And One Naming The Elementary School From Whence It Came.
