FUN FACT 1: James Blish was one of the first literary critics of science fiction, holding writers of the time to a more strict serious literature standard. Amongst his body of works, he was commissioned to write 12 books adapted from the original Star Trek TV Series. His wife helped with later installments due to his failing health. FUN FACT 2: Milton Lesser aka Stephen Marlowe, is known for his detective character Chester Drum. He also wrote a novel under the Ellery Queen pseudonym used by many different authors. (Wiki) I will happily answer any further questions. Making offers: I certainly can appreciate wanting a better deal, and I've made offers myself on my own purchases. To be up front, if and when you make an offer, I will automatically reject crazy low "give it away" offers. Best not to waste our time. With a more reasonable offer, I will review current pricing for other comparable items out there and either accept, counter or decline submitted offer. If in that review, I find my pricing is already LOW and outdated, I may then increase the price to bring more in line with other offerings. I spend a lot of time sourcing the best offerings, preparing the listings with images and clear descriptions, and price fairly in MOST cases. I remain grateful to all who consider my offerings, and I look forward to serving your needs respectfully and with success.
