Steve Dobson's Friends

I have been involved (or interested) in bookselling online, since:: June 21, 2001

Type of Books Sold:: Mainly SF, Crime, modern first editions. But I'm happy to try to place anything that I can.

Favorite Seller venue and ID:: I sell on eBay as 'sigmapsidelta' and on Amazon as 'interstellartravelagency', and my favorite is the one that sells most.

A Little About Me:: I have been a part-time bookseller since the early 1990s when I issued a mail-order catalogue called 'Frozenstar'. I had a small bookshop for six months in a town that turned out to have 99% illiteracy. Then along came the internet and changed everything.
I live on the south west coast of England, about 30 feet from the Atlantic at high tide - sometimes closer, depending on the weather.

Top Recommended Book(s):: Robert Heinlein novels.
Larry Niven and collaborations.
The 'Marcus Didius Falco' novels of Lindsey Davis.
Alastair Reynolds SF novels.
Peter F. Hamilton SF novels.
Iain M. Banks SF novels.
I also like the easy-reading fantasy novels of David Eddings.

Greetings from "across the pond". Yes, Newport News shipyard is indeed the supposed site of the Philadelphia Experiment. I'm a transplanted New Yorker, living here in the South is still new to me. I miss the city, but not the high cost of living.

Many thanks for all the great advice and pointers.

I am an avid SF reader. Will check into your suggestions.

Best Regards,
Patricia
