Full run of all seven STELLAR SCIENCE FICTION SHORT STORIES including original pieces by James Tiptree Jr. Larry Niven Isaac Asimov Larry Niven Anne McCaffrey and more. Judy-Lynn del Rey was a legend of the the science fiction world of the 1970s and 1980s editing sf magazines like GALAXY before taking up the position where she would ultimately have the most impact at Ballantine Books. Del Rey began as a Ballantine editor then "winding up running the enterprise" Frederick Pohl: over the course of the years that STELLAR was published she became the VP of Ballantine Books as well as Editor-in-Chief of Del Rey Books the SF/F imprint at Ballantine established in 1977. Del Rey had a formative impact on what would become known as space opera - most dramatically by nabbing the book rights to the novelization of an upcoming film STAR WARS. Alan Dean Foster author of that novelization contributed a story to STELLAR's first issue. Other major contributors to these volumes include Clifford Simak Robert Silverberg Ben Bova and Hal Clement. A bird's-eye view of the best of science fiction short stories of the era from one of its most important editors. 7 volumes 7'' x 4.25'' each. Original color pictorial wrappers.

1938réf. 312708Boston: Privately Printed by Geo. H. Ellis Co 1938. First Edition edition of 30 copies both volumes numbered in ink "Ten. The first volume illustrated with 28 photographs on 14 plates and 5 hand-colored plates after old prints and a photograph with folding map tipped in on rear pastedown; the second contains a hand colored plate a hand-colored photograph and six illustrations in black and white after old prints. 78; 20pp. 2 vols. 8vo. Both volumes in the original dark blue grained leatherette title gilt on upper cover. Fine copies. First Edition edition of 30 copies both volumes numbered in ink "Ten". The first volume illustrated with 28 photographs on 14 plates and 5 hand-colored plates after old prints and a photograph with folding map tipped in on rear pastedown; the second contains a hand colored plate a hand-colored photograph and six illustrations in black and white after old prints. 78; 20pp. 2 vols. 8vo. In his Foreword to the first volume the author states: "These sketches were written for the members of the Moisie Salmon Club. The sole purpose was to give information to them of the waters and conditions of the Moisie River and its branches above the places customarily fished by them.". The Moisie is one of a network of navigable rivers running about 110 miles northward from the St. Lawrence in eastern Quebec; old and well worn portage paths testify to the antiquity of the route along which for hundreds of years Indians have hunted and fished. For salmon and sea trout it is one of the richest areas known. It is not surprising that the Moisie Salmon Club was founded to reap the benefits of this bounty; what is surprising is that so much care attention and expense has been lavished on a book limited to only 30 copies. The text consists primarily of the author's descriptions of areas north of the more usual fishing sites based on his explorations as a sportsman with guides. In addition to five colored plates which tend to establish the romantic mood of the region there are 28 superb reproductions of sepia photographs printed on special photographic-type paper to convey both the look and the actual feel of the originals. The book's 78 pages conclude with an Index and inside the back cover is mounted a folding map of the area described. The second volume gilt titled on upper cover Moisie River 2 is unrecorded in sporting literature and known to us in only one other copy. It consists of 20 pages of text plus 10 of prelims including a Foreword emphasizing the crucial nature of the Labrador portages in providing - albeit with difficulty - access to the area's lakes. ".We have had to do with many.portages and we must give them due consideration for in our pursuit of sport and adventure portages hold a place of primary importance." The book's chapters include: Portage vs. Airplane Trip to Lake Nipisso Trip to Lake Ashouanipi Lake Kaopasho Skatchewan Lakes Flies piscatorial and Nets. There is the intriguing suggestion that Mr. Palmer intended to write more: his final lines in this companion volume read "The author craves reprieve until his unfinished story can be completed. Hasta mañana". EXTRAORDINARILY RARE AND DESIRABLE Written for the Moisie Salmon Club the Second Volume is Unrecorded.

First edition. 42 original mounted photographs each captioned by hand in ink. Text printed in brown. 20 pp. 1 vols. Folio. Bradley was Secretary-Treasurer of the Beaverkill Trout Club from 1910-1929; the club had 43 members at the time of his writing. A brief but detailed section of reminiscences is followed by early photographs of sport along the Beaverkill before World War I including author Geo. M. L. La Branche in mid-cast. Each photograph is titled in a fine hand which Bruns speculates is that of "Lady B." pictured on p. 19. There are also photographs of trout fishing in Maine and other points in New York State and of the author and his friend Charlie Campbell president of the club 1910-1923 fishing for Atlantic salmon in Newfoundland. Campbell was the friend who first brought Bradley to the Voorhees homestead in 1908 and with Bradley formed the Beaverkill Trout Club. Campbell's motto was "It's better just a little farther on". These recollections were evidently composed in 1927 for a speech to fellow members to judge from the text and expanded for publication here. "A very rare work numbering about 25 copies" Heller.

It began publication on May 1 1895 and ceased with vol. 4 no. 3 July 1897. "Bradley was well acquainted with the stylistic innovations of his European counterparts. Like many French artists he borrowed stylistic elements from Japanese prints working in flat broad color planes and cropped forms. He appropriated the whiplash curves of the Art Nouveau movement so dominant in Europe at the turn of the century and was influenced by the work of the English illustrator Aubrey Beardsley" willbradley.com.
