Spreading the SF happiness around!


A typical New Yorker beneath The Gates,
with matching orange scarf.

When SF fans collide...get engaged at a World Science Fiction convention...merge their book collections...keep collecting...keep reading...keep going to cons...and THEN wind up inheriting even MORE SF while living in a typical (extremely overcrowded) Manhattan apartment...something's gotta give! Or sell, as the case may be.

So here I find myself on eBay, like countless others before me, trying to spread the joy around. That is, the science fiction and fantasy joy. (And a few other things, mostly more books, that aren't nailed down and have outlived our interest levels.)

Our greatest goal here is to put some wonderful old SF books and magazines and pulps into the hands of those who will truly appreciate them. Not that we don't...! but given our space limits, we have to appreciate some things more than others. We all have our tastes. (Maybe all our Gnome Press hardcovers will finally wind up on eBay in about 15 years...yeah.) In the meantime we will have the wonderful memory of having them for at least a while, and learned so much more about SF history as a result.

My father-in-law "collected" (bought and read) huge numbers of SF books and magazines from 1928 to 1990. (Imagine, World of Null-A was the first novel my husband ever read...at age 8! just because it was there in the house. Yeah, we're keeping that one.) Now these books, amassed over many years and read and enjoyed, are in our possession. My husband and I both collect science fiction, but there really are limits on what we can keep. So we will be presenting choice items from this stash, the Raymond Gaillard collection, for auction. He loved hard SF, being an engineer and mathematician, but his collection shows that he was open-minded to many other types of SF as well.

We have many friends who also collect SF, and other books including many modern literature first editions signed by the author, and I am offering some of their goodies too. Also some wonderful jazz LPs and 78s that belonged to my husband's late uncle. Some of my late father's opera LP box sets will be here soon too. I've recently been selling new and lightly used designer clothing and accessories, coming to you from overstuffed closets all over New York City's Upper East Side.

What else...my eBay name is easily explained, I've been growing orchids indoors since 1983; I teach, lecture and write about them. I also knit and crochet, and some of my yarn stash has started showing up for auction too; I find that 7 projects at a time is about my limit. Most of the time I'm a graphic designer. My husband has been a chess player for over 30 years, and some of his books are also up for auction. Boy does he have a lot of them.

I'm having a great time so far. HAPPY BIDDING!
