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.
