The wellspring

[womzilla]

For eight years, I worked in a science fiction (and comics) shop, Second Foundation Bookstore in Chapel Hill. One of the services that we provided, as a real bookstore, was story ID: "I remember this story about.... Do you know where I can find it?"

Odds were, the story was by Robert Sheckley or William Tenn.

Goodbye, half of the source of all ideas in sf. A generation will remember you, even if they couldn't remember your name.
