Soviet Samizdat, circa 1989

Illegal Soviet samizdat copy of The Warlock in Spite of Himself

 

My books were banned in the Soviet Union during the 1970s and 80s (too pro-democracy).  But sci-fi fans are a determined lot.  Illegal, underground hand-typed copies like this were passed from friend to friend for years until the U.S.S.R. was disolved, and my books could be published legally in the new Russia.
