I hope I will be forgiven a book plug, since the book in question is one
that should be of interest to many on this list.
Yale University Press is publishing in August a book by Gary Westfahl
entitled Science Fiction Quotations. This is the first real book of
science fiction quotations, and I can attest from having seen the
manuscript that it is an absolutely first-rate work in terms of both
capturing the important quotations and presenting texts and sources with
great accuracy. Gary Westfahl is a leading scholar of science fiction
studies.
Price is $25.00. The ISBN is 0-300-10800-1. The book is listed on
Amazon, and at yalebooks.com.
[Full Disclosure: I have a slight financial interest in the success of
this book.]
