(114,029 posts)He adds to it every now and then. I found him those first four Amazing Stories I posted about a year or so ago.
Wondering if any of these or all of them would be a worthwhile gift. The seller is a regular at the thrifts I go to, but, I tend to be wary of him and his wife because he comes off as intense. Like it’s more business than fun. Which is the exact opposite of me, as I am casual about it and see it as fun.
Anyway, I figured there’d be trusted opinions here at DU. I can’t ask my husband because that would ruin the surprise..
BTW....The only things I personally collect are books illustrated by Harry Clarke. Yes, I’m a weirdo. Heheh

Long running SF magazine typically leans toward the "hard SF".
That's a great cover.

Frank Herbert once remarked that Schoenherr was the only man to visit Dune.

Expect collectors interest to increase as there's another Dune movie currently in production.
