For book collectors, especially those collecting Science Fiction and Fantasy hardcover first editions, several very important reference sources are needed. These sources are excellent guides for identifying first editions. One resource I highly recommend is Science Fiction and Fantasy Authors: A Bibliography of First Printings of Their Fiction by L.W. Currey. Currey is a highly renowned bibliographer for SF and Fantasy first editions. His work is essential for correctly identifying true first editions and their first printings, particularly if your collecting from the Golden Age of Science Fiction. A second valuable resource is A Pocket Guide to the Identification of First Editions by Bill McBride. This very handy pocket guide, alphabetized by Publisher, not only identifies a Publisher's true first editions, it also catalogs the first edition identifications the Publisher used as they changed printing processes through time. A third and last resource I would recommend is online. That is The Internet Speculative Fiction Database. (https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/index.cgi) This database is well organized and updated constantly by members. It's a great resource that not only identifies all the known works published by an author, that's every novel, novella, chapbook, article, essay and even non-fiction. The ISFD also lists all the awards won by an author for a specific work. Not just authors are listed, but also SF and Fantasy illustrators and artists. So, if you value paintings and jacket art, then this database is a great resource for you as well. Happy Hunting.

Attended the Emerald City Comic Convention (ECCC) at the Seattle Convention Center, from March 5-9, 2026 and had a blast. Five floors and one city block of fans, authors, merchandise, events, shows and after parties. In particular, met authors SunLinYu, Ryan Cahill, Stephan Graham Jones, Chuck Tingle, Matt Dinniman among authors. Also artists and illustrators Todd Lockwood and Tim Jacobus, among others. Some of the extra items I got autographed are listed for sale on www.topshelfbooks.com. All the fan attendees were terrific...everyone having a good time (can be seen from one of the dance party videos). William Shatner was attending, but charging $150 to sign an item, so passed. I couldn't boldly go there. Will definitaly do it again in 2027.
