Hi, Amy.
Put me on what will probably be a long list of people willing to
validate
this book. My library (bless 'em) actually has this book, so I'm good
to go.
Is it possible to scan it in parts? ("The Essential Ellison, Scan Part
1"?)
Just a thought.
Live Long & Prosper,
Marilyn

Hello SF Buffs,
I have The Essential Ellison: A 35-Year Retrospective, Ed. & Into.
by Terry Dowling.
This is an almost 1000 page collection of Sort Stories and Novellas
by a master of science fiction, influenced by Alfred Bester and Ray
Bradbury, to whom the volume is dedicated, and by Rod Serling though
he is not mentioned. Some of his scripts were sold to Star Trek and
Twilight Zone and his tales range from quirky humor to nightmares.
His writing style matches his subject but whatever the topic you
will not soon forget his tales. Members of the SF Club will be
reading one of his stories as the first entry in The Science Fiction
Hall of Fame, Vol. III, to be discussed Aug. 14.
The book is too big for me to handle and I do not have the strength
to press down on it as hard as will be necessary. If I could put it
back together I might have it taken apart as it is in sections but
it is sewn as well as glued. Each sewn section could be dealt with
and then reglued but however it gets done would be okay with me.
The book was published by the Nemo Press and the Copyright is 1987
by The Kilimanjaro Corporation. There is a note under the copyright
information that for written permission to reproduce this must be
obtained from the author or the author's agent, address included on
the copyright page. I don't know what the arrangement is between
Bookshare and American publishers but I suspect his permission will
not be difficult to get if needed.
I would love to be able to read the rest of the stories and this,
while not an all inclusive collection, this collection has 67 of his
best stories. He has publish over 40 books.
Amy
