British Library SciFi Exhibition

I am not in the UK, alas, but for those who are or soon will be, this exhibition looks interesting. It starts this week and runs to the end of September.

I went today, and it was really lovely!  A nice mix of current and original printed books, and some really nice manuscript pages.  A few Doctor Who things (of course), including a Steampunk-looking K9.  And there was a Steampunk section of the exhibit with Anubis Gates, League of Extraordinary Gentleman, Michael Moorcock, etc.  Nicest part was a pair of homemade steampunk goggles.  Lots of great writers represented (including my personal favorite, Connie Willis) and a few nice moments devoted to graphic novels.

The shop, of course, was highly dangerous.  From a financial standpoint (the poor, poor USD).

Best,

Amy

Thanks for the write-up, Amy!

It just so happens that Connie Willis was at ICFA this past year, and I had the opportunity to sit down and have lunch with her. She's an absolutely wonderful woman, and despite being in advancing years is sharp as a tack and hilarious to boot. We even talked about Steampunk briefly, and she thinks it's great. =)

Just thought you'd like to know!
