About F&SF Books
I sell hardcover and paperback books primarily in the genres of fantasy, horror and science fiction. In hardcovers I specialize in small press, signed and limited editions.I have been a collector for over 50 years. I picture all of my items and describe anything that cannot be seen from the pics. I never use stock photos; all pics are the actual item. I securely pack and ship in boxes, never mailers.
