Edward Marsh is merely one of us sci-fi nerds (and, if you spend good money on tattered copies of Issac Asimov books, you'll feel a special kinship with him too) only, Marsh has amassed a thoroughly impressive collection of Science Fiction that is worth millions of dollars and happens to be entrenched in Sci-Fi's "Golden Age".
