Don Webb was culling some books, and he came over to my house so I could paw through and triage them into what I wanted to keep, what to auction, etc. I will most likely be putting a few auction items up in September. These are the reference works I kept for myself, and all were $5 each except for the Delany, which was $20. <\/p>\n

  • Delany, Samuel R. The Motion of Light in Water: Sex and Science Fiction Writing in the East Village: 1957-1965<\/b>. First edition hardback, a Fine- copy with just a trace of foxing to inside front covers in a Fine- dust jacket with just a touch of wear. Inscribed by Delany: “To\/Don + Rosemary\/in remembrance\/of a wonderful\/evening at\/the County Line\/from\/Samuel R. Delany\/Austin\/Feb. 1988” The County Line is a local BBQ chain, and Delany came down for Sercon 2 that month. Nonfiction autobiography. Hugo Award Winner for Best Nonfiction. Supplements an unsigned copy (which I forget to bring when I had Delany sign all my hardback fiction firsts at Readercon in 2009).\n
