Dimensions of Harlan Ellison® (HEBPP, 2019) – First Edition Trade Paperback

Original price was: $60.00.Current price is: $50.00.

This is one of four books published for backers of The Harlan Ellison Books Preservation Project Kickstarter, which I launched in 2016.

When the books were finally printed in 2019, I ordered a 5% overrun to insure against books mishandled by the printers, in transit to me, or after being shipped to the Kickstarter backers. (Half the copies of two of the titles were also lost by UPS, forcing me to order duplicates of those books. Most of the original cartons eventually arrived months later, though at least one box never did.)

The original plan was to offer these titles to people who purchased the entire Edgeworks Abbey Archive library, but Susan Ellison’s death derailed that scenario.

Now that 99% of the project’s backers have responded over the last five years and received their rewards, I’m selling off the excess copies, per my agreement with the Ellisons.

Some of the copies have cosmetic damage, so I will fulfill the earliest orders with the best copies.

N.B. These copies were damaged in shipping from the printer. They have bent corners consistent with being haphazardly shelved and have been discounted accordingly.
DIMENSIONS OF ELLISON collects early, mostly never-before-republished stories like “Luna,” “Trapping the Beast,” “The Beer Campaign,” “The Lost Atomic,” “Abnormality,” “Plague Planet,” “The Annals of Aardvark,” “The Long Episode,” “Situation Scarlet,” “Surprise Package,” “Seven at Fifty Third,” “Swamp Dust,” “The Game of Chance,” “Saboteur: Symbiote,” “Vista,” “Cherches le Message,” and “Detour,” plus “A Walk Around the Block” and “Hardcover” along with an early version of “Mealtime” (then titled “Green Denouement”). Combined with a healthy dose of Harlan’s non-fiction writing from a dozen or so fanzines (and a few parodies from his college humor magazine), this book represents the most complete account of the Ellison’s pre-professional writing career; I probably should have titled it THE AMATEUR ELLISON.
Edited by Jason Davis.
