Did you know that Special Collections & Archives has more than 500 science fiction titles from the private library of the late Canadian writer, B.P. Nichol? Many well-known science fiction authors' first works were issued only in paperback, vulnerable to deterioration over time. Beam on down to the Doris Lewis Rare Book Room to see our exhibit showcasing some of these rare titles and the far out examples of cover art common to this genre.
The “B.P. Nichol Library of Science Fiction” exhibit in the Doris Lewis Rare Book Room will be available until the end of December.
Front covers of Isacc Asimov's: Foundation (F12599), published 1966; Foundation and empire (F12592), published 1967; and Second Foundation (F12600), published 1966. All 3 books were published by Avon.
