1955 Advent:uring Through the Years
2005
By Earl Kemp

Ed Wood (Deceased 1995)
In the first issue of eI, my friend and Advent
partner George Price wrote an article under this same heading. It
was George's inside view of the history of Advent:Publishers. The
thought occurred to me that I should use the same title to introduce
George's Master Archive of the titles published by Advent:Publishers.
|
Mr. and Mrs. George Price photographed
in August 2004. |
Originally I wanted George to name the piece
"Fifty Years of Advent" only George was adamant. Because
it hadn't actually been fifty years of Advent, we couldn't say it.
Now, of course, as it is still not quite yet 2005, Advent is still
not yet fifty years old.
It's a bit difficult, though, to think of this
not being at least the pre celebration to Advent's Fiftieth Anniversary…that
will be accomplished with the publication of Joseph Major's definitive
study of Heinlein's juvenile novels, Heinlein's Children.
#
Questions regarding the availability of Advent
titles, and orders for same, should be addressed directly to http://nesfa.org/press/Books/Advent/index.html
who have been handling those tasks for a number of years now and
are expected to continue doing so in the future.
Following is George Price's Master Archive of
Advent titles:

This edition differs from
the First principally in being reset with better typography. The paperback
second edition appeared before the cloth second edition because the
new editions were issued as supplies of the first editions ran out,
and the paperback ran out first. |
