I would like to sell an autographed copy of Anne McCaffrey's _Damia_.
It's a British 1st Edition (Bantam Press, ISBN 0-593-02374-9).  It's in
near perfect condition (the dust jacket has slight marks where the covers
meet the spine).  It was bought at the Forbidden Planet in London last
June.

I'd like to sell it for $25 which will include UPS shipping, and is less
than I paid for it.  Reason for sale?  I received a personally inscribed
copy for Christmas!

Thanks.

Step 1: Go to a local newsstand or magazine shop.

Step 2: Get ahold of a copy of _Analog_ or similar SF-related
magazine.

Step 3: Page through until you find the inveitable ad from the SF book
club.

Step 4: Either purchase said magazine and clip out the ad, or note the
address.

>Post or email, as you see fit.  Thanks in advance.

OK...so I'm too lazy to look up the address myself. ;-)

Just a quick note here: 

As I understand it, the order the books are to be read in is the order of writing
i.e. (ish.. memory test here!)

	Dragon Flight
	Dragon Quest
	The White Dragon    (Personal Favourite!)
	Dragon Song
	Dragon Singer
	Dragon Drums
	Moreta - Dragon Lady of Pern
	Nerilkas Story
	Dragon Dawn
	The Renegades of Pern
	All the Weys of Pern

Well, at least I think it is! The first two trillogies are approximatley the same
time period, viewed from a different angle, so you could start with Dragon Song,
and that trillogy - some think this is an 'easier' way in to the series.
Also, can I reccomend PernMUSH or SouCon to you - Live your dreams.  :)

Thanks.

Hmm, so how long is Rescue Run?

Is it short enough that someone with some OCR software and a scanner could
reprint it here?

Is it short enough that someone who is really bored could type it all in?

And post it?

Just wondering,

I was under the impression that the long intervals were caused not

_Definite_ copyright infringement!  My understanding is that passages can
be quoted verbatim as part of another story/article, but a complete repost
without permission would definitely not be legal.

Besides, wouldn't you rather buy the story and give Anne some royalties?
(At least from the new book if not from Analog.)

The Quintara Marathon is now complete: The last two books are out in 
paperback. 

I enjoyed them, but I must say I liked the first book the best.

Nathan, Mavra, OBIE. Amazing. I can't believe I'll get to see them again.

The final Quitara book, _Ninety Trillion Fausts_ has been out in

Leslie Nielsen can play Frank Drebin, and not James Bond.
(He can play Q, though :-)

p.s. The only way Moore even got away with playing Bond is because they brought
him aboard in the 1970s, when NO ONE had taste. "Aah aah aah Stayin' Alive ...
Stayin' Alive ..."

 Read every single one of them, and own all but 2. (Got the original
1960's book club editions.) He wasn't even close...Sean Connery was
