And, meanwhile, let me third Kevin, Hugh, and Roberto by offering you congratulations, Bud. -Paul Cooper ... SFWA AWARD: Bud Webster ... more than 400 e-mails...
... Thanks, Paul. I'm slowly working my way through all the email that piled up while we were gone. Bud Think of me as an infinite number of Mexican Stuffed...
... I'm not going to post a looooong message about the entire weekend, but I will say a few things here and now: the hotel, the Hyatt Crystal City, went out of...
It sounds like they went to some trouble to ensure a pleasant experience--good. I enjoyed your account of the weekend; it was a glimpse into something I have...
Bud, I fully understand you about the glass elevators. I too fear very much the heights, and at 18th floor they would have found me dead - to say the least. ...
PS: what do you mean by " long " message? :-) Roberto Da: simak-fan@yahoogroups.com [mailto:simak-fan@yahoogroups.com] Per conto di Bud Webster Inviato:...
Bud, Thanks for sharing this with us. In the course of learning about Simak over the years, I have read a few accounts of award ceremonies, seen many ...
... And the really bad thing is that I CAN'T just not look - it'slike a train wreck. ... Grazie, Roberto. Bud Think of me as an infinite number of Mexican...

I agree with Kevin, Bud. Your account was fun and just the right length. I also have trouble with heights, but I have learned to turn around and face the wall...
... I usually do, too, but this past weekend I was using an electric scoot ro get around, and the elevators were too small to turn around in. Bud Think of me...
Probably never mentioned this but since 2008 I've reviewed pretty much every novel I've read (call it an exercise or a diary of sorts), usually posting these...
Thank you for the links, Lawrence. Interesting blog, and I like your review. Your idea that a different cover and title might make the book more acceptable is...
Covers are a struggle for the well meaning publisher, especially getting the "right" image. While the old saying "never judge a book it's cover" is a nice...
Thank you for these links Lawrence. I enjoyed your review. Although it may be a pain to have found yourself excommunicated by the click of a mouse with no...
1973/4 was the peak of my science fiction buying, and was often read between 11.00pm and 3.00am or so. I used to believe (seriously) that I could always tell...
Thanks for taking a look there, guys. I must admit I myself find I'm put off by the "classier" covers books tend to have these days (Brian Aldiss' Hothouse...
I don't go by covers as much but do pick up a book based on the title. And then I tend to flip through it from the back to the front skimming for narrative...
And what bookshops there are concentrate on seventeen-volume fantasy offerings...very little "classic" SF, apart from C.S.Lewis in Waterstones here in the UK,...
From what I saw of book stores in the UK about a year ago, it's the same here in Texas at least so far as stores that have managed to stay open. Of the modern...
A moment of nostalgia....1974 I remember coming across Philip Jose Farmer's first World of Tiers in a rack of science fiction paperbacks in a very ordinary...
