Me too! I will always be sad that she only got the chance to write four books.

"To laugh often and much to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others to leave the world a little better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Just replying to your comment on my own LT profile -- thanks for the comments about my interesting library and your recommendation to visit SFTV.org. SFTV.org has been one of my main sites for news and info about SF on tv for many years -- even with the explosion of news sites on the internet, SFTV is still one of my favorites, which I visit regularly. I've got it bookmarked, filed at del.icio.us and subscribe to the RSS feed of the SFTV blog! It's the kind of site I wish I could run, if I had the time and resources!

Oh, and you've got a very interesting LT library, too!

I just got it the other week at a library book sale. I don't know when I'll have time to read it!

Thanks for joining the Fans of Alice Hoffman group!
I just finished reading The River King and saw that it was in your library as well. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on it and other Hoffman books you've read.

Hello leen and/or nadine (I'm hope I'm correct that there are two of you),

Sorry for the delay in responding (work obligations, doggone it:)

Well, you're flattered...and I'm jealous. Yep, no other word to describe it; unless it's envious. Well, why split hairs, either word will do. You see, I thought I was doing pretty well in the signed first area but then I stumbled upon your library and found many things I covet, both signed and unsigned (and I haven't even looked at everything yet!). For the last year or more I've been searching LT for people using the tag "signed," which incorporated a lot of variations, including "autographed." However, that search doesn't show your tag "signed 1sts," so I was shocked to discover your splendid collection. Where do you guys live (in a vague geographical/metropolitan area sort of way, if you're willing to reveal that) that you have access to all these authors?? Or do you order from book dealers through the internet? I'm always on the lookout for trustworthy booksellers if you've got any to recommend.

Anyway, we seem to share similar reading tastes, so please hit me with any recommendations you have and I'll try to do the same for you once I've examined the list of our shared books (and your library) a bit more. Thanks for the heads up on the Subterranean Press Campbell book, I'll give it a look. I'm already trying to resist the Naomi Novik edition(s), so Campbell may have to wait it's turn:)

Take it easy,
