Library Addition: Signed, Limited Edition of Jack Dann’s The Fiction Factory

Monday, October 6th, 2025

Another signed, limited edition bought off eBay at a bargain price.

Dann, Jack (with Susan Casper, Gardner Dozois, Gregory Frost, Jack C. Haldeman II, Barry N. Malzberg, Michael Swanwick, Janeen Webb and George Zebrowski). The Fiction Factory. Golden Gryphon, 2005. First edition hardback, #65 of 100 copies signed by all the contributors (with wife Barbara Delaplace signing for the late Haldeman), a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket and a Fine slipcase. Collection of collaborative stories, much like Dozois’ own Slow Dancing Through Time, including the great “Down Among the Dead Men.” Supplements a trade copy. Bought off eBay for $13, a whopping great discount off the original offering price of $75.00, especially considering that Casper, Dozois, Malzberg and Zebrowski are all dead.

Library Additions: Three Signed Books

Friday, August 12th, 2022

Three more books from that private collector culling his collection.

  • Pohl, Frederik. Midas World. St. Martin’s, 1983. First edition hardback, a Fine- copy with the barest bit of bumping at head and heel, and a trace of fixing to inside covers, in a Very Good+ dust jacket with a 3/16th” chip at head, a 1″ closed triangular tear with associated nailhead-sized chip to upper front near spine (and small piece of blindside tape reinforcement), and a few pinpricks of abrasion along the spine, signed by Pohl. Over-graded by the seller as Fine/Fine, but I only paid $12 for it, and a copy with a better jacket to marry should be cheap.
  • Silverberg, Robert. The Book of Skulls. Scribner’s, 1972. First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket, signed by Silverberg. Hugo and Nebula finalist. Replaces a slightly less Fine signed copy. Bought for $45.

  • Pellegrino, Charles, and George Zebrowski. The Killing Star. AvoNova, 1995. First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket, signed by Zebrowksi. Supplements a paperback edition inscribed to me by Zebrowski I received for Nebula consideration. Bought for $9.
