| 80.1 | SCIENCE FICTION COLLECTOR – dated 9/38 on cover, 10-11/38 on TOC (v4n4) – very rare, early SF fanzine. Edited by John Baltadonis, with Oswald Train as Assistant Editor, Morris Scott Dollens as Assistant Art Editor, and Robert Madle and Sam Moskowitz as associate Editors. | 276 | 150.00 |
| 80.2 | “THE STAR-TREADER AND OTHER POEMS” by Clark Ashton Smith – first edition, published by A.M. Robertson in 1912. CAS’ first book. While 2,000 copies were printed, Currey notes that approximately 1,000 unbound sheets were destroyed in a fire. Signed by CAS on the dedication page (the book was dedicated “To My Mother”). No dust jacket. | 292 | 375.00 |
| 80.3 | “CHANTS DE GUERRE ET DE MORT” by Robert E. Howard (Nouvelles éditions Oswald (Néo), Paris, 1987). This is the deluxe edition of this collection of REH poems, edited by Francois Truchaud. Each of the poems appears in English, followed by the French translation on the facing page. Oversized paperback, with a dust jacket. The paperback edition of this is limited to 450 signed and numbered copies, but this is neither signed nor numbered. The contents are similar, but not identical, to those in the Arkham House collection, “Always Comes Evening”. On a personal level, I think it’s a lovely book, with three color and five black and white interior illos by Jean-Michel Nicollet. | 343 | 150.00 |
| 81 | “VERSES IN EBONY” by Robert E. Howard – this is a proto-type edition, published in 1974 by George Hamilton, in an edition of 50 copies. Later in 1974, Hamilton would publish the actual small press version of this booklet, limited to 250 copies, but none of the contents were the same. This booklet contains four poems which were first printed by Roy Squires (“The Road to Rome”, “The Gold & The Gray,” “Black Dawn” and “Song of the Naked Lands”). It was never intended for sale, but was produced to show Glenn Lord what the finished product would look like, in order to license from Lord the works that would appear in the actual booklet. Exceedingly rare, and not even listed on Howard Works. | 363 | 220.00 |

The convention has not graded these items (although we have tried to note missing covers [nfc = no front cover & nbc = no back cover]) and encourages all bidders to review their condition before placing bids, as ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
There will be a buyer’s premium of 10% added to the amount of each winning bid for items in this catalog. We can take payment by cash, check, credit card or paypal, but credit card and paypal will have a 5% surcharge. Some lots may have reserves.

SILENT BIDDING
SEE THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE FOR SILENT BID RULES AND REGULATIONS
We will also be taking silent bids for those who are unable to attend. All bids must be in at least $10 increments in whole dollars from the next higher bid. Please be advised that these bids are your actual bids and not your “MAX BIDS.” So if you bid $3000 for a lot, your bid is $3000 and not something we bid up to for you. These silent bids are where we start the live auction for that lot. If no other bid is higher, then the silent bidder wins that lot. For more information, please see the bottom of the page.

80.1 SCIENCE FICTION COLLECTOR – dated 9/38 on cover, 10-11/38 on TOC (v4n4) – very rare, early SF fanzine. Edited by John Baltadonis, with Oswald Train as Assistant Editor, Morris Scott Dollens as Assistant Art Editor, and Robert Madle and Sam Moskowitz as associate Editors.
80.2 “THE STAR-TREADER AND OTHER POEMS” by Clark Ashton Smith – first edition, published by A.M. Robertson in 1912. CAS’ first book. While 2,000 copies were printed, Currey notes that approximately 1,000 unbound sheets were destroyed in a fire. Signed by CAS on the dedication page (the book was dedicated “To My Mother”). No dust jacket.
80.3 “CHANTS DE GUERRE ET DE MORT” by Robert E. Howard (Nouvelles éditions Oswald (Néo), Paris, 1987). This is the deluxe edition of this collection of REH poems, edited by Francois Truchaud. Each of the poems appears in English, followed by the French translation on the facing page. Oversized paperback, with a dust jacket. The paperback edition of this is limited to 450 signed and numbered copies, but this is neither signed nor numbered. The contents are similar, but not identical, to those in the Arkham House collection, “Always Comes Evening”. On a personal level, I think it’s a lovely book, with three color and five black and white interior illos by Jean-Michel Nicollet.
81. “VERSES IN EBONY” by Robert E. Howard – this is a proto-type edition, published in 1974 by George Hamilton, in an edition of 50 copies. Later in 1974, Hamilton would publish the actual small press version of this booklet, limited to 250 copies, but none of the contents were the same. This booklet contains four poems which were first printed by Roy Squires (“The Road to Rome”, “The Gold & The Gray,” “Black Dawn” and “Song of the Naked Lands”). It was never intended for sale, but was produced to show Glenn Lord what the finished product would look like, in order to license from Lord the works that would appear in the actual booklet. Exceedingly rare, and not even listed on Howard Works.

85. THE ALL-AROUND MAGAZINE – 7/23 – incredibly rare magazine, featuring some of REH’s first fiction, written while he was in high school.

If you cannot make it to the convention, you may place a silent bid prior to 6 pm the day of the auction. Using one of the contact forms seen above, place your bid. The bid you place will be the silent bid registered. This means whatever bid you place will be the bid we take. THIS IS NOT A MAX BID, therefore if you place a bid for $1000 that will be the bid we accept. At the live auction, we will have silent bid forms on each lot. The silent bids either done in person, or through the contact form will be written down. So that silent bid price will be the starting point for that lot. If no one is willing to top the highest silent bid, the lot will close and the silent bidder will be declared the winner. Please be advised there will be a 10% buyers premium on every lot, so a winning bid of a $100 will have a $10 buyers premium added. If you plan on paying by PayPal, we will also add a 5% CC fee. Shipping is NOT included in any auction gavel price. Any silent bid must be in whole dollar amounts with a $10 minimum raise.
