A run of Ballantine Adult Fantasy

Complete set of 1st edition hardcover books by Lois Bujold, C.J. Cherrryh, Roger Zelazny, Gordon Dickson.

Sets only requiring 1 or 2 to complete- Ursula Le Guin, Frank Herbert, Poul Anderson, A.E. Van Vogt, Philip K. Dick, Larry Niven

As for listing the different authors I stood in the middle of one of my two book rooms and looked at the front layer of paperbacks in the 12 bookcases. I counted 536 different authors.

Lets see, except for Volume 1 number 1, I have a run of Astounding Stories,
I need 3 volumes to complete a run of Amazing.

Over 400 ARC copies, over 60 manuscripts, over 300 fanzines; and my favorites, over 150 signed first editions.

25 years of serious collecting. And yes I have read them all(except some of the more delicate pulps)

I used to have more but in the interest of space and quality I have been selling/trading 6-7 on average for 1 1st edition. I've reduced my collection by 30% so far.
