>>    -  Jane Webb Loudon,* The Mummy!*, 1828. A rare second edition of an
>>    early, important work of SF by a female author.
>>
>>
>>
>>    - C. L. Moore, *Judgement Night, *1952. A beautiful first edition
>>    from another major female author in SF.
>>
>>    - Stanislaw Lem, *Solaris,* 1971. The UK first edition of this
>>    classic SF novel, featuring a gorgeous, illustrated dust jacket.

>>
>>
>>    - Andrew Lippert has completed cataloging of the *Klein Papers*!
