Matteo and everyone following this thread --
I examined the interlibrary loan copy of
Terror on Planet Ionus that I received earlier this week.
It is from a "special collection" at the Eastern New Mexico University in Portales. It's the
Jack Williamson Library.
-----The Jack Williamson Science Fiction Library at Eastern New Mexico University has one of the top science fiction collections in the world. It contains more than 30,000 volumes, including:
- science fiction books
- SF pulps dating back to the early 1900s
- manuscripts
- correspondence
- photographs
- many other items
Many items were donated from the personal collection of science fiction pioneer Jack Williamson, a Grand Master of Science Fiction and winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards. Williamson earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from ENMU, taught for 17 years as a faculty member in the English department, endowed scholarships for ENMU students and underwrote the University's literary magazine, El Portal. He died in 2006 at age 98.
In 2006, the collection expanded with the donation of 15,000 volumes of science fiction books and magazines from R. Duane and Kathryn Elms of Silver City. The gift included one-of-a-kind items, first editions, signed editions and thousands of collectible publications.-----
Jack Williamson Science Fiction - MyENMU
The copy of
Terror on Planet Ionus that I am reading seems to have been read before. The book is in good condition except for signs of age such as weakness to the binding, but it does seem to have been handled.
It might have been read by Jack Williamson himself!
Like I said, I'm reading it. But my inclination is to withhold a review-summary. That way you all will feel more compelled to
read it too!!! Haaaaa!!
