Fantasy Press Inc. Archive of Signed Letters
<B>[William Grant] Lloyd Eshbach, Marty Greenberg, Horace Gold, et al. Fantasy Press, Inc. Archive. </B></I> More than 25 letters and personal notes written during the birth, life, and untimely death of Fantasy Press, Inc., a science fiction publishing house established by Lloyd Eshbach in 1946. Probably most noted for publishing works by Robert Heinlein and E.E. Smith, Fantasy Press eventually closed doors in 1961. <BR><BR>Taken from the files of William Grant, editor of <I>Canadian Fandom</B></I> magazine, this archive contains business letters and personal notes between Grant and Eshbach, and similar missives from other friends in the science fiction magazine/publishing business, including Martin Greenberg and David Kyle of The Gnome Press and Evelyn Paige and Horace Gold of <I>Galaxy</B></I> magazine. Of particular interest here is the series of letters between Eshbach and Grant, discussing Grant's investment in Fantasy Press and the ultimate failure of that publishing house. <BR><BR>All items are fine to very fine; a few mass-printed items are age toned. <I>From the Robert and Diane Yaspan Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
