    Pictures from the 2012 Chicago WorldCon: Wednesday & Thursday

    Wednesday, September 5th, 2012

    Always willing to get cheap blog fodder document science fiction history, I tried to take pictures of just about everyone I knew that I bumped into there.

    Scott Bobo and Kurt Baty pretend they’ve been hard at work setting up the art show.

    Elizabeth Moon, hanging out in front of the Lone Star Con 3 table.

    The ubiquitous Guest of Honor Mike Resnick at one of the approximately 700 parties he attended over the week.

    John Kessel looms large in science fiction.

    Scott Bobo sitting in front of the portal to London that suddenly appeared behind him.

    A blurry Adam Troy-Castro stands in front of an equally blurry Charles Stross. Obviously there was some sort of temporal disturbance in the dealer’s room.

    Sue Burke contemplates her life after the collapse of the Spanish economy.

    Noted lush Scott Bobo yet again, doing what he does best. Bobo, Kurt, Ed Scarborough and I ended up eating out together three times during Worldcon, hence extra pics of some of them. This one is from the original Morton’s.

    Ed Sacrborough and Jonathan Miles. “Is that bastard taking our picture again?”

    Kurt and Grady, whose skin has lightened considerably since his stint on Sanford & Son.

    More pics, probably tomorrow.

    Library Additions: January 22, 2011—August 7, 2011

    Sunday, August 7th, 2011

    The book-buying continues apace here at Stately Person Manor since the last roundup. Many were bought from a notable SF book dealer having a sale. And some weren’t even bought, as there’s a large number of unclaimed Nova Express proofs and ARCs that were integrated into my own library after I cleaned my office. All of these are Fine hardback first editions in Fine dust jackets, unless otherwise noted. Signed book are noted, except for recent titles where the entire run was signed (like several Subterranean Press books).

    Books that I have available for sale through Lame Excuse Books are marked LEB (though some of those titles won’t appear on the stock page until after I send out my next book catalog, which will probably be late this month or early next; email me if you’d like to get on the mailing list to received it).
