Desiderata
I’m primarily a Science Fiction collector, but I also collect:
- Books by/about James Boswell
- Thorne Smith
This is not an exhaustive list. It just contains those wants that I have entered into my database. Feel free to quote any SF first editions.
Condition: I’m really only interested in F/F copies, unless the book is very scarce.
