1996ref. 5326New York: Tor 1996. First Edition First Printing. Hardcover boards. Book in Fine condition/Complete dust jacket in Fine condition. Compiled by photographer Patti Perret in 1984 through BlueJay Press as a photo-essay collection of 100 modern fantasy authors with each author given a 2 page spread for a personally penned essay and a photo taken by Perret. First Edition First Printing with complete number line signed by 14 of the writers. In collectible condition with seemingly no signs of wear to either the complete dust jacket save for a touch of shelf wear to the head of the DJ or the book itself. Even the cream-colored hardcover boards appear new and without any smudging or discoloration; a feat for a book this many decades old and handled by so many hands for signatures. The only “flaws” would be the signature impressions that transferred through the pages from some of the heavier-handed signatories and most notably with Jack Williamson’s signature whose signature has stained the page opposite his portrait however the transfer does not impair the reading of his essay contribution. Signed by: Joyce Carol Oates p. 35 Charles de Lint p. 92 George R. R. Martin p. 106 Peter David p. 111 Neil Gaiman p. 131 Elizabeth Moon p. 134 Suzy McKee Charnas p. 164 whose fans include director Guillermo del Toro and whose interesting publishing history includes the controversial title “Motherlines” Jack Williamson p. 180 nicknamed one of the Deans of Science Fiction and rumored to be one of the first sci fi writers to use the terms “terraforming” “psionics” and “genetic engineering” Fred Saberhagen p. 188 who made Dracula himself the protagonist in his vampire series Tracy Hickman p. 197 of "Dragon Lance" fame Diana Paxton p. 205 also known as Countess Diana Listmaker and founder of the Society of Creative Anachronism Katherine Kurtz p. 214 Barbara Hambly p. 225 Dennis L. McKiernan p. 226 who intended to write a sequel to J. R. R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings”. The book opens with an introduction written by writer Terri Windling of Bumblehill Press and Mythic Imagination Institute who explores the historical evolution of myth archetypes and fantasy story telling from “Gilgamesh” to modern times and what treasured fantasy stories transmit to society at large through the ages. This edition was released by BlueJay Books a small specialty publishing house the operated for a brief period in the mid 80s and competed against larger traditional distributors. BlueJay Books ceased printing operations in 1986 but published many titles including Dan Simmons’ first novel “The Song of Kali” in 1995 Greg Bear’s “Eon” in 1985 along with works by Andre Norton the first woman to be awarded the position of Gandalf Grand Master of Fantasy among many other awards and Hugo winners Connie Willis Vernor Vinge and Frederik Pohl.

1968ref. 1505401968. Original album of this iconic work boldly signed by legendary musician Pete Townshend on the front panel. In very good condition. Record is included. Magic Bus: The Who on Tour is a 1968 compilation album by the British rock band The Who released exclusively in the United States by Decca Records. Despite the title’s implication of a live performance the album does not feature concert recordings; rather it assembles previously released studio tracks from earlier albums and singles such as “Run Run Run” “Doctor Doctor” and the hit single “Magic Bus.” Issued to capitalize on the commercial momentum generated by the success of that single the compilation served as a marketing strategy to sustain The Who’s growing popularity in the American market. While not considered part of the band’s core discography by the members themselves Magic Bus: The Who on Tour remains an interesting artifact of late-1960s rock culture and the record industry’s efforts to package and promote British Invasion artists to a transatlantic audience. unknown
