Looking for Scientific Romances
Wanted - Scientific romances (Victorian / Edwardian SF) and some other
material, for my collection and for scanning and electronic publication.
Condition not too important, provided that text is readable and graphics
are clean.
Illustrated editions preferred (not 1st edition unless VERY cheap), but
modern reprints will also do very nicely:
by George Griffith
Gambles with Destiny (collected stories 1898)
The Great Pirate Syndicate (1899)
The Lake of Gold (1903)
A Woman Against the World (1903)
The World Masters (1903)
The Stolen Submarine (1904)
The Great Weather Syndicate (1906)
The Lord of Labour (1911).
By Robert William Cole
The Struggle for Empire (1900)
by Fred T. Jane
The Incubated Girl (1896)
To Venus in Five Seconds: An Account of the Strange
Disappearance of Thomas Plummer, Pillmaker (1897)
Pall Mall Magazine Volume V, 1895-6.
Pearson's Magazine bound volumes:
Volumes 2 and 18 onwards
(July-Dec1896 and July 1904 onwards)
Strand Magazine bound volumes:
Volumes 25-42, 44 onwards
(1903-1911, July 1912 onwards)
The Idler magazine
Volume I (ending July 1891), Volume III (February 1893 onwards)
and all subsequent volumes.
The London Magazine, volume V
Pearson's Weekly for January 14th 1893 and January 21st 1893 (and any
other issues that may be available)
The Windsor Magazine, Vol XXIII, Dec 1905-May 1906 (and other issues).
I am also interested in borrowing this material, if it can be scanned,
and will pay postage etc.; however, most books do suffer some damage
from flattening etc, this is probably only worth considering if the book
is so far gone you don't mind it taking further damage.
Some of the material I've previously scanned is now on-line on my NTL
web page http://homepage.ntlworld.com/forgottenfutures and on
http://www.forgottenfutures.com
A CD-ROM of all this material in HTML format is available, see the
separate post describing it.
