Index to autographs
For a general introduction to my collection of author autographs, click here. For a note about the science fiction authors, click here. Here is a complete alphabetized link list:
Autographs - Ray Bradbury
Besides enjoying his work, I've always admired Ray Bradbury for living in Los Angeles without driving a car. (See also my note on Frank Herbert.)
On the other hand, I'm with Cory Doctorow on Bradbury's silliness about others riffing on his titles
Autographs - Frank Herbert
I heard Frank Herbert speak at Rice University in 1972, while I was an undergraduate there. What I remember best about his talk was that he asked everyone to pledge never to buy a new internal combustion engine automobile. (Search for "combustion" on this web page, and you'll find the pledge.) I've always been known for my hatred of automobiles, and I jumped at the chance to take the pledge. (I've honored it, too, only buying used cars until 2006, when I bought my first new car, a hybrid Prius.)

Autographs - Samuel R. Delany
Samuel R. (Chip) Delany is one of my favorite writers. I own more books by him than by any other author. I've read his science fiction, his memoirs, his other non-fiction, his literary criticism, and his porn.
On a visit to New York City, I happened to spot a notice that he was going to be signing this new book at a Manhattan bookstore while I would still be in town. I bought the book, got his autograph, and asked if he ever visited Los Angeles. He basically said, "Not if I can help it."

Autographs - Roger Zelazny
I'm pretty sure Roger Zelazny was one of the group of SF authors I went to hear at UCLA. He hid his annoyance well when presented with four books to sign.
Autographs - Theodore Sturgeon
Theodore Sturgeon was one of the group of SF authors I went to hear at UCLA.
I'm also a believer in Sturgeon's Law: "90% of everything is crap."
