Before heading down to Costa Rica (for what looks to be our annual pilgrimage to our house here), I stopped by the used book store (Half Price Books in...
I have my hardcover copies of "Phases of the Moon" and "In the Beginning". I had not heard of the new anthology, but I just ordered my copy. It has "Gorgon ...
Following recent posts about members' stunning artwork collections I'd like to alert them to a forthcoming eBay auction by the Clarion Foundation which will...
I think the world is not yet ready to read "The Last Days of Saturn" in its entirety, and so the paragraph I quote in the preface to SF 101 is going to be all...

I have no idea how the message below got posted three times over a period of 45 minutes. It sure wasn't done by me. I sometimes believe my house is haunted...
Here is the direct link to this artwork. The illustrator has not yet been revealed, but it is apparently the cover artwork for the 1980 World Science Fiction...
Yes,sorry,the painting I mentioned can be viewed at theclarionfoundation.org in the 2006 Auction section. All it says is that it was donated by Kate Wilhelm,no...
And five minutes of "googleing" reveals the following... http://nesfa.org/press/Books/images/Noreascon2ProgramBook-600.jpg Wraparound cover by Jane Mackenzie...
Your information is correct; I STILL have my copy of the convention program somewhere. (It's the only SF convention I've ever been to, aside from the...
Damon and Kate were the guests of honor at that convention and I was toastmaster, which is probably why we're on the cover. I'll have to dig it out and take a...
Alex, one of the readers in the other Yahoo group (HeinleinSilverbergSimak) had not read much Silverberg before, and decided to get a jump start on the...
There's a fascinating review of King of Dreams by Paul Di Philippo. I'm wondering RS (or anyone else, for that matter) would be willing to comment on it. Do...
Dear Mr. Silverberg: I just discovered this Yahoo Group, and am very excited to converse with you, as you have always been one of my favorite authors (not just...
I was very interested in your remark about Donna Tartt,I think you're on to something and when I get back from holiday next week I intend to consider it more...
No, I've never read the Donna Tartt book -- though I remember the tremendous publicity when it came out -- and I have no idea whether she knows BOOK OF SKULLS....
I'm very familiar with the "Dead Zone" and think it's one of Stephen King's better books, and one of the best movie adaptations (there's no one quite like...
NO. NO. NO. NO. Don't even THINK about it. It would be a dull world if we all liked the same thing, and I believe that David Cronenberg's movies are the...
... Good to see you, RS. I remember the arrival of Majipoor (in LVC) as quite comfortable, first as an echo of Nightwings, but feeling almost completely with ...
... world ... [snip] No, no, no, Mr. Conrad, or Creitz (or Kurtz, mebbe?). Oh, yeah---and no. One doesn't have to like big band music to like Sinatra or...
Mr Silverberg, has Subterranean Press indicated to you what they intend to use for a cover illustration for the new book, TO BE CONTINUED? I heard a rumor...
"Stock art" is art they've already paid for or have the rights to, having nothing to do with the book. (I just saw a Michael Whelan cover from a Tanith Lee...
I've been going over some of the past messages from this group, and I regret that I've only joined it so recently, as the discussion is quite erudite and, at...
I'm not sure, Peter. I remember some discussions last year with Subterranean in which I suggested skipping cover art in favor of a uniform non-pictorial...
I suppose I should break the news that I'm not a Cronenberg fan myself. Saw a couple of his movies long ago, the Wm Burroughs one and something about twins,...
One of the advantages of reading a book in your youth is that years later you can read it again and have a whole new experience with it. That's the case...
