History of Science Fiction

Hello to all,
Today I wanna share with you something, I can for sure say makes me know I'm a true fan of the genre known as Science Fiction. It was back when I was living with my mom Nancy Watson and my step father Chuck Watson when they lived here in the states, it was in nineteen ninety six when I came across this little treasure:
. I was at the time always buying my novels at a place called the BOOKWORM , it was just a couple of streets over from where we lived, so it was a pretty frequent hang out spot for me from as far back as when I was a little guy too, in fact back in the very early part of nineteen seventy nine I recall viewing a thirty two by thirty eight size poster that had every STAR WARS movie posters on it. So what was the coolest thing about this rare poster your asking yourself, I sure huh? Well it had several mini posters with "Revenge of the Jedi" on it, and here's another cool thing about that there was a movie that I remember seeing while living in Gathierburg Maryland called "Getting it on" it was a teen date movie from nineteen eighty that was really awful. It had a scene it it though I will never forget a teenager girl and boy were talking about going to a movie and the boy says "well how about we go see that "REVENGE OF THE JEDI" flick, huh?" I think it is the only movie you will NEVER find on DVD if you look for it. Sorry about being on a STAR WARS shtick for a moment there, I just thought it would be a cool tidbit to share here, even though this really about the book above. In this you learn some really rare and neat type of things about SF. Like What your wanting to know huh?, well it tell you the actual beginnings of Science Fiction through out the world, it separates how it is different from the genre known as Fantasy, it talks of many sub parts of the fiction itself: utopia, women,robots,and other peculiarities (that a name of one of the chapters by the way). It talks of the Mass culture effect which is basically movies, TV shows, and of course comic books, in outselling a classic novel say of H.G. Wells, all the way to magazine editor of the early parts of the depression era H.P. Lovecraft. It even tells us that shortly after a very famous radio broadcast that the date of the very first science fiction convention for the united states was in New York on July 2,1939. In fact it has been so long since I read it I may sometime soon read it just to getting back into the said genre I love most of all!
