Newly Added Collectibles For Sale

I recently added a couple dozen items to the Collectibles section.  Most are science-fiction pulps, with some historically important items among them.  For example, there’s a pretty nice copy of the October 1933 Astounding Stories, the first issue published by Street & Smith and one of the scarcest of the entire run.  I’m also offering the July 1939 Astounding, which is considered by most SF scholars and aficionados to be the issue that ushered in the “Golden Age of Science Fiction.”  And I have a high-grade copy of the 1952 Startling Stories with Philip José Farmer’s groundbreaking short novel “The Lovers,” which for the first time depicted in a mature and thoughtful way an interspecies sexual relationship.

In the days and weeks to come I’ll be adding many more items to the Collectibles section: vintage pulps, vintage hardcovers (including some choice Arkham House titles), vintage paperbacks, facsimile pulp reprints, movie memorabilia, and lots of other good stuff.  So check back frequently.
