0 56 p. Includes illustrations. This volume is Madle s account of his trip to the World Science Fiction Convention in London in 1957 as the winner of that year s election of the Trans-Atlantic Fan Fund (TAFF). The Fund was created in 1953 for the purpose of providing funds to bring well-known and popular science fiction fans familiar to others on both sides of the ocean across the Atlantic. Since that time TAFF has regularly brought North American fans to European conventions and European fans to North American conventions. TAFF exists solely through the support of fandom. The candidates are voted on by interested fans all over the world, and each vote is accompanied by a donation. These votes, and the continued generosity of fandom, are what make TAFF possible. It continues to this day, and the current election is to choose a fan to attend the 2014 World Science Fiction Convention, which coincidentally is also taking place in London. Madle has a long and extensive career in SF fandom. He published fanzines first in the 1930s, was a charter member of the Fantasy Amateur Press Association (FAPA), a founder and first chairman of First Fandom, a founding member of the Philadelphia Science Fiction Society, and the man who gave the Hugo awards their name. For many years he s also been a dealer in science fiction books, magazines and amateur publications, publishing occasional catalogues. Very good. pages are neatly mimeographed as issued, and this copy is in very good condition.

Wraps. Condición: Near Fine. Stapled wrappers, 60 to 90 pages each. With address stickers on rear, generally near fine condition. Two copies of #20, so a total of seven catalogues plus one multi-fold pamphlet on magazine runs. Wraps. Back in the Very Early Days (pre-Kuenzig Books) this seller specialized in science fiction and made it a goal to get catalogues from the standard-bearers in the field. I'm thinning out my reference shelves and thought these might be interesting material for those interested in the pre-internet science fiction and fantasy market. The catalogs are not dated, but my recollection is that these were the mid to late 1990s. Robert Madle is a specialty science fiction and fantasy dealer, and also a real fan. Rumor has it that at conventions he would sell enough books to cover his costs, then throw a sheet over his table and enjoy the convention. I found his catalogs most helpful as a reference for pulps and sometimes for specialty press pricing. Strictly speaking, these are sale lists - author/title/publisher, condition, and price. No real annotations, often 70 items per page, one item per line in small type. He also sold runs of pulps, digests, etc, and was one of the few places you could find a reference on pricing (this was pre-internet). Mint Gnome Press replacement dust jackets, Winston juvenile series, and many more can all be found here. An interesting view of the pre-internet specialty dealer marketplace. My only observation is as someone who handled a lot of pulp magazines, Bob's grading took some getting used to. Compare and contrast Bob's catalogues with LW Currey and Barry R. Levin to see a broad range of style, content, and material in this era.

First edition, first printing. Original black cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the Jon Aristrom illustrated dustwrapper. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents clean throughout and without stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the near fine original dustwrapper, remaining without loss, tears or fading. Not price-clipped ($40 on the front flap). The second volume of Haffner's 'The Early Kuttner' series. A collection of thirty early works by the influential weird fiction writer Henry Kuttner, originally published in pulp magazines of the 30s and 40s such as Weird Tales, Science Fiction and Strange Stories. With a new foreword by Robert A. Mandle, one of the earliest science fiction fans and fanzine creators. With a new introduction by Dr. Garyn G. Roberts.
