Ingathering: The Complete People Stories of Zenna Henderson
Zenna Henderson is best remembered for her stories of The People, which appeared in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction from the early '50s through the middle '70s. The People escaped the destruction of their home planet and crashed on Earth in the Southwest just before the turn of the century. Fully human in appearance, they possessed many extraordinary powers. These stories tell of their struggles to fit in and to live as ordinary people, unmolested by fearful and ignorant neighbors. The People are “us at our best, as we hope to be, and where (with work and with luck) we may be in some future.”

Believing: The Other Stories of Zenna Henderson
Zenna Henderson, best known for her stories of The People, published an equal number of non-People stories, all collected here in Believing. Like the stories of The People, they range from comforting to unnerving. Fans of The People will recognize the same underlying belief in the goodness of all beings as they struggle for a chance at a better future.
These stories have a common theme: belief. A girl believes that the hills are lost beasts and leads them home; a boy believes he can fight evil with a pocket piece made from Popsicle sticks; a boy believes he can build a noise-eating machine — with fatal results.

On the Road with Gardner Dozois
Gardner Dozois shares his insights into SF, fannish tourist travel, and world-class conventions in this special selection of trip reports. This historical snapshot captures Gardner’s and his wife Susan's convention experiences at Worldcons, the Nebula Awards, and Westercon. Each trip report includes a memory of Gardner shared by one of his friends as Gardner offers his unique view of the world, fandom, and the authors who helped to bring SF and its conventions into the twenty-first century.
“Gardner writes far and away the best trip reports in fandom. Gardner’s accounts of his travels remind me of the work of the top best travel writers. He can describe the sights and smells of a foreign land as vividly as Paul Theroux, and he makes his own adventures as funny as P. J. O’Rourke.”
— George R.R. Martin

The Immortal Storm
A History of Science Fiction Fandom by Sam Moskowitz
The Immortal Storm is a history of the early days of science fiction fandom, which started with a small group of devotees who shared a common enthusiasm — but whose differences kept them in almost continuous conflict. Many of those early fans later became significant writers of science fiction: Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, and others. Here we see them at the beginnings of their careers, expressing their points of view and opinions in battles, brawls, divisions, and break-ups which seem as violent as the interplanetary wars they later wrote about.

A Lit Fuse: The Provocative Life of Harlan Ellison
by Nat Segaloff
In late 2011 Harlan Ellison—the multi-award-winning writer of speculative fiction and famously litigious personality—did two uncharacteristic things. First, he asked biographer Nat Segaloff if he’d be interested in writing his life story. Second, he gave Segaloff full control. The result is the long-anticipated A Lit Fuse: The Provocative Life of Harlan Ellison. This intimate biography is the only time that Ellison not only allowed a biographer to take a tour of his life but also to quote from his work.
