Will you have any sci-fi books?

I have a few sharp Burroughs with Frazetta covers, but I don’t think I have much in the way of sci-fi except the occasional straggler. I pulled a few boxes of stuff a while ago for a sale, but I’m only now getting around to it and I don’t remember everything that went into the boxes months ago. While I was digging around, I found a box of movie magazines I had intended to list on eBay; that was probably ten years ago and they’re still sitting (trouble is, now I want to keep most of them!).
