From the Estate of James Gunn
The Estate of James Gunn has donated his impressive library to Farbeyond Books. As a writer who often did the introductions for Easton Press’s Science Fiction collections, he was gifted many of these books. Not to mention his own prolific writing career, Gunn had many other friends and mentors within the science fiction community who helped fill his shelves with books.
Most of the collection is being sold through our online storefront on AbeBooks and Biblio, with the inventory the same on both sites. We are always curating and adding more, so check back in often!
Easton Press books are lovely addition to any shelf, and a book collector’s dream. They are bound with genuine leather, printed on archival quality paper, have 22 kt gilt lettering/decorative inlays, satin endpapers, hubbed spines, and a permanent ribbon marker.

At least 50% of proceeds go to the Ad Astra Institute for Science Fiction and the Speculative Imagination
The Ad Astra Institute is a non-profit out of Lawrence, Kansas dedicated to its mission of “Saving the World Through Science Fiction,” offering writing workshops and community to writers from all over the world.
