More from that private library purchase<\/a>. Two of these replace less desirable copies.<\/p>\n

  • Delany, Samuel R. The American Shore<\/b>. Dragon Press, 1978. First edition hardback, #77 of 100 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy, sans dust jacket, as issued. Detailed, close-reading non-fiction critical analysis of Thomas Disch’s “Angouleme,” a segment of 334<\/b>. Weedman, The Starmont Reader’s Guide to Samuel R. Delany<\/b>, page 22 (“Here Delany exercises himself as the critic’s critic, remaining fairly inaccessible to a general audience.”). Chalker\/Owings, page 132. Replaces an unsigned copy.\n
  • Delany, Samuel R. The Einstein Intersection<\/b>. Easton Press, 1986 (stated; the Locus database lists this coming out in 1991). First edition thus, a special leatherbound collector’s edition, a Fine copy, sans dust jacket, as issued, inscribed by Delany to the previous owner and with an Ex-Libris plate and “Collector’s Notes” laid in. Nebula winner for Best Novel, Hugo finalist. Magill, Survey of Science Fiction<\/b> pages 703-707. Supplements a signed copy of the Gollancz first hardback edition. Strictly speaking this is just a “nice to have,” but it is signed, and Easton Press makes attractive books.\n

  • Delany, Samuel R. The Straits of Messina<\/b>. Serconia Press, 1989. First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. Delany essays on Delany. Chalker\/Owings, page 390 (“these at least are readable”). Replaces a copy with a less attractive dust jacket.\n
