I'm trying to collect signatures (preference to signed firsts or S/Ls) from all the really big SF names, especially those that particularly influenced my reading through the years...

    Very nice pick-up, Tim!!!!! I always loved Niven's writing. I especially recall the absolutely hysterical short stories contemplating the fruition of Supeman's love for Lois Lane!!!! Right up there with Douglas Adams on the funny scale!!!

    Thanks! Niven, for me anyway, is one of the greats. I honestly can't say I've read much of his short work though, so I was especially pleased when Subterranean announced this edition, 27 stories!

    You gotta find and read those "Superman" stories. It was in an old anthology book I forget the name of, but worth looking for to read!!!! You'll love it!!!


    At one point he surmised that Supes and Lois would have to "mate" on the moon for the "No Gravity" effect, but would that stop Superman's "Super" sperm? LOL

    I went to Bett's once in Bangor. Only bought trinkets but it was really cool, they had some terrific books and artwork. Took pics of SK's house there too which was awesome!!

    Thanks! I've always really liked the DIFFERENT SEASONS proof since I first learned about proofs and ARCs (which is not that long ago) and I'm really happy I got it. I have been very lucky in the proof department this year.
