FOREST J. ACKERMAN'S WORLD OF SCIENCE FICTION

Forest J. Ackermans's World of Science Fiction with a foreword by John Landis and preface by A.E. Van Vogt. As a young teen in the 1920s, Forest Ackerman began to read and collect the sci-fi pulp magazines of the day. He went on to staff the first sci-fi fanzines, start what would be one of the world's biggest sci-fi collections, and organize the landmark, Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society in 1934. In this fascinating, lavishly illustrated volume, Ackerman offers memories, trivia, unique perspectives on the genre from Shelley's "Frankenstein" and major early authors of science fiction, through the age of the pulps, sci-fi on the silver screen, and sci-fi on television.
