About this Item

Locus Publications, Oakland, CA, USA. Featuring book reviews, convention reports, interviews, lists of forthcoming American and British books, people & publishing news, photos, adverts, letters and more. Columns include Fritz Leiber's MOONS & STARS & STUFF, Richard Curtis' AGENT'S CORNER, STAYIN' ALIVE by Norman Spinrad and Amy Thomson on short fiction (depending on year of publications, as the earlier issues of Locus may not feature these columns). Most copies are in FINE OR BETTER condition, though the occasional one may be about fine or near fine. Some - but very few - copies may have titles in the forthcoming books section marked with a highlighter. PLEASE NOTE: Postage to destinations outside the UK is higher than quoted. Also note that the early issues of Locus were mailed to its UK recipient and, therefore, carry an address label and a UK postage stamp. =============== Gore Vidal's "Kalki" is nominated for a World Fantasy Award. Frank Herbert's "Dune" will become a movie. Algis Budrys writes "On writing", Dennis Dobson and Edmund Crispin pass on. Brian Aldiss offers appreciation of Edmund Crispin. Fritz Leiber reviews Stephen King's "The Shining" and "The wicker man (Hardy & Shaffer) and Arthur C Clarke paints "The view from Sri Lanka". William Rotsler comments "On serendipity" and Dennis Dobson, publisher and editor of Dobson books - alongside Gollancz the only prolific publisher of hardcover sf back in the day - says goodbye and ad astra. Reports from various conventions show a dapper Brian Aldiss, a ponytailed Spider Robinson, a bearded Barry Longyear and a sunglasstastic Gregory Benford. Letters from Orson Scott Card, Michael Bishop and others and news that Harlan Ellison has sold "The final dangerous visions" and GRR Martin & Lisa Tuttle sold "Windhaven". Two fine copies, one about fine one.

Shipping Terms

POSTAGE: Unregistered and uninsured shipments are made entirely at the buyer's risk. We, therefore, urge our customers to use a service of registered mail, with the option of additional insurance, depending on the shipment's value. In March 2014 the 'International Signed For' (registered mail) service - used in connection with overseas surface mail shipments - was withdrawn by the overseas postal authorities, meaning that surface mail shipments can no longer be registered or insured. To enjoy the security of registered/insured mail, the air mail AIRSURE service must be used at the appropriate additional cost. Although air mail is more expensive than surface mail, it is also a great deal safer and faster.
PLEASE NOTE THAT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECOMMENDATION RECEIVED FROM ABEBOOKS WITH REFERENCE TO THE CHANGES IN THE COMPANY'S RETURN POLICY EFFECTIVE 23 JULY, 2015, ALL FUTURE SHIPMENTS FROM US TO DESTINATIONS OUTSIDE THE UK WILL BE SENT BY TRACKED AIR-MAIL AT THE APPROPRIATE EXTRA COST. THE ADDITIONAL POSTAGE WILL BE QUOTED.
