1977réf. 00675TYPED LETTER SIGNED dated March 2 1977 vg/near fine on the authors own stationery to American publisher poet columnist reviewer and author C. C. Clingan nearly 100 words informing him that he has virtually never written anything in the 'Weird Tales' vein except for a collaboration with best friend Frederik Pohl in Weird Tales entitled LEGAL RITES which he didn't like; that he has a 7000 word story entitled KID STUFF which was published in his 1957 short story collection EARTH IS ROOM ENOUGH which he might find suitable for publication and if so arrangements can be made. Along with a check from FICTIONEERS INC. made out to Frederik Pohl and endorsed by him in September of 1941 which carries a notation that it is for THE WEAPON by Isaac Asimov which was published in ASTONISHING STORIES. Pohl was indeed the first editor of ASTONISHING STORIES a publication of FICTIONEERS INC. and although by September he had been replaced this check shows that Pohl was acting as Asimov's agent very early on. In fact this is the first or second check Pohl had received acting as Asimov's agent a position he was soon to relinquish as Asimov preferred to have no agents. Pohl was once again agent to Asimov in a much more professional capacity in the early 1950's but this soon came to an end as well. Here's your chance to nab a very important document in the history of modern science fiction. N.p. unknown books

1972réf. 201683New York 1972. Like New. Signed. Original typed postcard dated 23 April 1972 signed in blue ink by Isaac Asimov. Also included is a carbon of the response to Asimov. Asimov is addressing the active California fan Rick Sneary who was apparently trying to get Asimov to either attend a Con or donate a manuscript to the benefit auction. Asimov replies "Impossible for me to be there as you've guessed. Also alas impossible for me to contribute anything to the auction. Everything conceivable--down to first draft and scribbled notes--goes to Boston University. In fact your letter will go there and your request will be immortalized and my curator will send me an anxious letter reminding me that nothing must go anywhere else." Sneary's response is good humored and he notes that Asimov's rejection note will be donated to the auction and suggests that his curator should come out and bid for it. Both the original Asimov and the carbon Sneary are in fine condition. books
