"Richard Austin Freeman 11 April 1862 28 September 1943 was a British writer of detective stories mostly featuring the medico-legal forensic investigator Dr. Thorndyke. He claimed to have invented the inverted detective story a crime fiction in which the commission of the crime is described at the beginning usually including the identity of the perpetrator with the story then describing the detective's attempt to solve the mystery. Freeman used some of his early experiences as a colonial surgeon in his novels. Many of the Dr. Thorndyke stories involve genuine but often quite arcane points of scientific knowledge from areas such as tropical medicine metallurgy and toxicology." from Wikipedia .

2005005595Los Angeles: Alyson Books 2005. First Edition. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. The third and final volume of lesbian writing legend Forrest's science fiction-fantasy trilogy that began in 1984 with the highly-praised "Daughters of a Coral Dawn" an exodus story of 4000 22nd century women who escaped a male-dominated tyrannical Earth to colonize the planet Maternas. Forrest followed with a second novel "Daughters of an Amber Noon" in 2002 which described the fate of the women who remained on Earth. The work was described as "a tour de force" by one reviewer. This third book is set on Maternas some 55 years later and describes the conflict between the original settlers and the first generation of Maternas-born women the first in the history of humanity with a legacy of ultimate freedom with a standard of conduct that has created a schism between older and younger generations. It is also a novel with considerable sexual content. First Printing First Edition. About 5 3/4 x 8 1/2 inches 197 pages including a brief author's biographical note. Black paper-covered boards with gold lettering on spine. The dustjacket shows a photographic design of sky clouds and distant hills in varying shades of green with a closer rocky landscape in shadow. Lettering is in green and white on front cover and spine with a single blurb for "Daughters of an Amber Noon" on the back panel. The dj's front flap describes the trilogy; the back flap is blank. There is no price or printing indicator on the jacket or the book. The copyright page notes the copyright in 2005 by Forrest followed by "Published by Alyson Books" with no date of issue. There is a single tiny dogearred page 117-118 o/w boards and text are clean complete and unmarked; binding tight and square not remaindered. The dustjacket shows very minimal surface and edgewear no tears no creasing or chipping no clipped corners. This copy appears to be an advance review or proof copy printed and bound before final details such as price were determined. In any case a hardcover copy is a rarity. An internet search at the time of this writing revealed only paperback copies of this 2005 edition or a later 2014 issue. Its scarcity alone should find it a place in a collection of Forrest's work along with the classic "Curious Wine" and the Kate Delafield mysteries. <br/> <br/> Alyson Books hardcover

A listing with some notes of the 1300 "fantasy books" that at the time comprised the famous Forrest J. Ackerman collection which would of course continue to grow into the largest private SF collection ever assembled. Aside from the primary bibliography it also includes lists of relevant non-fiction Esperanto and books in languages other than English. A listing of Forrest Ackerman's fantasy and science fiction books accumulated 1928 to 1945 which he intended to donate to the Fantasy Foundation. As the library grew to number in the hundreds of thousands his plans changed; he offered them to the City of Los Angeles which refused to accept responsibility; the German government failed to raise funds for a museum dedicated to it; and eventually the collection was dispersed in a series of public and private sales lasting over 20 years.
