Just learned, a day or 2 ago, that Ken Slater, the bookseller known as Fantast-Medway, has died aged 90. Really sad - for as long as I`ve been going to conventions, 1st as a fan then as a writer, Ken has been a feature of the British con-landscape, reliable and familiar, one of the mainstays of dealer rooms up and down the land. Won`t be the same without him.
