Everybody Loves a Sci-Fi Critic (volume 6)Books
By "Books" I mean every book that I know of that I either have something in or in which I'm mentioned by someone else. What IS a "book", though? On Goodreads, which is a site for reviewing books, there's some controversy about this subject that I seem to be somewhat at one of the centers of. When I first started reviewing there I included Artist's Books & Chapbooks - both of which seemed to be unknown subjects to many of the Goodreads people.
I've also reviewed issues of "OPEN SPACE Magazine" on Goodreads. When I review such things, there's been a 'librarian' there who then labels my entry "NOT A BOOK". I call this person the "NOT A BOOK VANDAL". In response to this person's vandalizing an OPEN SPACE review I wrote something to the effect of:
'According to Mirriam-Webster, a book is "a set of printed sheets of paper that are held together inside a cover : a long written work" (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/book). OPEN SPACE fits this description. Furthermore, it has no advertisements in it. Some publications, especially scholarly journals, are packaged as periodicals in order to insure subscriptions from universities & libraries. These subscriptions enable them to continue publishing without having to depend on a broader more commercial market.'
Apparently, enough people found my argumentation sound because I haven't been bothered by the NOT A BOOK VANDAL on Goodreads since. Even the mention of the absence of advertising isn't necessarily a prerequisite for 'bookness' because there was a time when science fiction books routinely had advertising in their middles, often for cigarettes & other objects not immediately relevant to the interests of their readership.
SO, with this slightly expanded definition of "book" in mind, I'll include here issues of periodicals that are in the physical form of paperback books in addition to objects that most, if not all, people would ordinarily accept as books. I'll also include CD-ROMs. I'm reluctant to include at least one of the books because the portions it contains relevant to me were created as hostile misinformation. These will be organized in reverse chronological order so that the most recent book will appear at the top.
In some of these books, my name is just mentioned in passing, often with 'corrected' case relations. I include such things for the sake of thoroughness. I even include my high school yearbooks. There are probably plenty of books that I'm mentioned in that I'm unaware of. EG: I just learned of 3 in the past few months. If anyone knows of something not on this list I'd appreciate your calling it to my attention. With the exception of "Heretical Thoughts on the New Normal" I've excluded chapbooks. - March 20, 2016EV notes from tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE
