From: Nat Feldman <FELDMAN at NLM-MCS>
The address of Forbidden Planet-The Science Fiction and Comic Book Shop is
821 Broadway corner of 12th Street, New York City, 212-473-1576. They carry
wide selection of current science fiction, fantasy and horror books, videotapes
of all the Prisoner episodes, related albums (such as the HHGttG records),
current and old comic books, magazines, toys, and games, all at retail prices.
Across the street is the Strand Book Store that sells used general books at
half price, and the Barnes & Noble book store and the Sale Annex are nearby at
5th Avenue and 18th Street that sell allbooks, including a fair science fiction
collection at a minimum 10% discount. Star Magic is located at 743 Broadway,
New York City, 212-228-7770, and is devoted to all manner of items with a space
theme. Their books are mostly non-fiction, and their records include many of
those mentioned under the space rock discussion.
As for Luke's missing(?) light saber:
I'm certain that someone in the rebellion can resupply Luke with this
weapon if no other obvious source appears. I would find it har to believe
that he retained the light saber. It may be unfortunate that he thus loses his
father's legacy, but with his heavy breathing dad this may not be sucha
monumental loss. At any rate I doubt the sabers are particularly rare, but
most people are probably more comfortable using simple blasters. Alternatively,the Empire may have banned the weapon in its attempt to obliterate the Jedi.
