Have you got a Science Fiction fan on your gift list this year?
I know there are hundreds of thousands of Sci Fi fans, probably millions, and surely they have friends who scratch their heads when it comes to choosing a gift.
I’ve made up this list from my own preferences, the gifts I would like to get at Christmas – or at any time.
Gift Ideas for Science Fiction Fans
I’d really like some posters of old fantasy magazine cover art, I found a couple of beauties, and some vintage classic movies from the 1950s.
Books, I always want books. I found a couple of excellent calendars too.

As I scientist I recognize when scientific laws are broken but, however implausible and far-fetched the strange devices may be, many start me wondering Could this really work?
So I’ve included a couple of good books which discuss the possibility of television gadgets actually working.
