Boskone Books Checklist

Boskone Books are a series of books published by the New England Science Fiction Association, Inc (NESFA) honoring the guest(s) of honor at the annual Boskone science fiction convention. The press run on each book usually runs from 500 to 700 copies and is signed by the author being honored. A few leather bound copies of each book are usually available on an advance subscription basis. These are known as the 'finebound' editions and typically only a half-dozen or so are produced.

The following is a list originally compiled by Rich Grombert that I cross referenced with NESFA’s list of published titles which provided ISBN numbers. In the case of discrepancies I opted to use the information provided by NESFA. Title links lead to the book's entry on the NESFA web site. Further information and publishing history can be found under each entry.
