Librería: Richard M. Ford Ltd, London, Reino Unido
Manuscrito
2pp., 4to. In good condition, lightly aged and worn. On two leaves stapled together. The letterhead, printed in red, is a cartoon portrait of the artist with palette and brush, pointing to the address on a blackboard. A long chatty letter, listing the titles and prices of an order Malcolm has made, describing his activities at a time when he is 'pushed like mad', arranging an 'interview for ERG', discribing the contents of the four albums of his stamp collecting ('I wouldn't call myself a philatelist . . . . more of a jackdaw with a filing cabinet'), describing his lifelong interest in aeronautics and space travel ('As a kid, I made models, collected books, drew pictures, went to air shows . . where I had my first flight. Naturally, when I left school, I volunteered for the RAF and had 5 1/2 years War Service therein.'.

Manuscrito
Both items in good condition, on lightly-aged paper. The letter is 2pp., 4to, and is written in a playful tone. Escaping the accompanying spoof Steward writes: 'Your remark that Glasgow was as alien to you as Mars got me thinking along the lines of the attached headline . . . . . It would be a good idea for a story if it hadnt been done about three thousand times already (See Robert Bloch (Report on Sol III) and others). Changing the subject he writes: 'I shall be watching out for NWSF 29 with your 12,000 word novelette in it - in the paperback edition of course I'm only an impoverished accountant).' Regarding the manuscript of Malcolm's book 'Time and Again' he writes: 'I think you deserve better than Robert Hale [publisher] although their list may have improved since I stopped receiving their dreadful SF novels for review in my local paper.' He next discusses Malcolm's 'Hal Clement-like explanation of the background to your current work-in-progress', which he illustrates with diagrams. The letter concludes with a reference to Malcolm's interest in 'Pioneer Aviation'. The article ('By our reporter') is 1p., 12mo, and typed, apart from the headline, which is neatly written out in imitation of a sans serif font. It begins: 'At 5am today (scottish mean time) A Viking spacecraft successfully touched down in SauchiehallsTreet [sic] in the city of Glasgow. After shutdown of the propulsion systems cameras were activated and the search for signs of life began. | Don Malcolm, mission director, said at the Paisley mission control centre [.]'.

Manuscript in ink, small folio (approx. 250 x 205mm), pp. [iv], 7-224; small tears with some loss in last leaf (which is the lower wrapper); no watermark; stitched but unbound. An apparently complete and unpublished novel of the early 19th century. The novel appears to have been written in direct imitation of Scott, in that it is set in 1730 (although the date, firmly penned in on the first page of the text, is in a different hand). The historical atmosphere, however, is not very convincingly delineated and a casual reader would surely imagine it as set, as well as written, a century or more later. The Scottish setting is clearly, if lightly, imposed: the main action takes place on the shores of Loch Ernough ('or the beautiful lake, as the name was said to signify'), and several of the chapter epigraphs are taken from Burns. The action features a Benedictine Chapel, and a monk with a mysterious past (Father Albert Castleroux, the hero), so the inspiration is at least partly in the gothic novels of the 1790s as well as in Scott's more refined historical fiction. The book's preface is signed 'The Hornet', but there is no other clue as to authorship, not even male or female. Such niceties as the proper address for titled people are rather shaky - one character is called Baron Egbert Saint Moor, but is also referred to as Sir Egbert and even Sir Saint Moor - and even spelling and grammar are not beyond criticism ('too' for 'to', and vice versa), so it seems possible that such a work was never likely to find a publisher willing to take a risk on this novelist.
