The British Library's SF exhibition is well worth visiting if you get the chance. http://www.bl.uk/whatson/exhibitions/outof/about/index.html Exhibits include early editions of various SF novels and comics; pages of handwritten manuscripts; film posters; video interviews with various novelists, scientists, and SF scholars; a steampunk model of K-9; and a full-size model of the TARDIS (exterior only). Among the authors included in the exhibition are H.G Wells, Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Mary Shelley, Olaf Stapledon, John Wyndham, Philip K Dick, Margaret Atwood, Joanna Russ, Iain Banks, John Christopher, Greg Egan, Michael Moorcock, Tim Powers, Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman and The Landlord. | ||

Actual handwritten pages by Stapeldon, Wyndham (1st page of Triffids!), Pullman, Angela Carter among others. Sheet music of the Who theme from the sixties. I found it quite humbling and fascinating. And the little shop was bloody amazing. | ||

I liked the typewritten manuscript of J G Ballard with his handwritten corrections all over it. I think the music manuscript was actually incidental music from The Dalek Invasion of Earth, just in case anyone's thinking of going to see it! |
