Darrell C. Richardson Collection for Sale

---

John Gunnison of Adventure House has just completed a large catalog of material with a section of product from the estate of Darrell C. Richardson. Darrell was a collector of ERB, as well as Robert E. Howard, H.P. Lovecraft, and his holdings included some incredibly rare stuff. They are in the process of selling Darrell's collection on consignment for his estate.

There are actually two catalogs...one which is 414 pages in size, and has some 16k books, mostly pulps. The second catalog is actually an auction catalog in which Darrell's copies of parts of the original serial of RETURN OF TARZAN in NEW STORY MAGAZINE, as well as Darrell's copy of A GENT FROM BEAR CREEK is being offered.  The catalogs are on sale now with the auction closing on March 12, 2010 and the sale date for items in the big catalog taking place the week before on March 5th. In case I confused you...the catalog is for sale now, but I won't be taking orders until March 5th, so everyone has a chance to check out all the great stuff and then has the same chance as everyone else at getting something once I start accepting orders on March 5, 2010.
