New for February - A Fan’s View
February 6th, 2007 by Alan Chudnow
I’m extremely pleased to be able to announce that beginning this month the Collecting Science Fiction Books web site will be featuring a monthly column by celebrated fan writer John Hertz titled, A Fan’s View. In each installment John will be sharing some of his thoughts and insights on genre works, both old and new, with a perspective I think you’ll find fresh, unique and perhaps a bit challenging.
John was nominated for a Hugo Award as Best Fan Writer in 2006. In 2003 he was given the Big Heart Award, highest service award in the SF community. His first installment is a look at The Best of Xero by Pat and Dick Lupoff, a selection of essays from their legendary science fiction fanzine Xero.
In the coming weeks I’ll also be adding several new features to the site, including Reader Polls, Forums and the latest News from RSS feeds around the SF book community.
You can keep abreast of updates to the site by subscribing to the monthly newsletter of SF Bookworm and the Collecting SF Books site, Distant Suns. You can subscribe here using the form on the left however those subscribing through the Collecting SF Books web site will also receive a 5-part Quick Course on collecting science fiction books.
