Abstract
Fred Fastier (b. 1920), inaugural Professor of Pharmacology at the University of Otago, began collecting Science Fiction (SF) in the 1950s when he was based in New York. At the end of 2010, Fastier donated his collection of 1200 SF titles to Special Collections. Edward Bellamy‘s Looking Backward: 2000-1887 was first published in 1888. It became one of the most popular American novels of its time and had a huge influence on contemporary intelligentsia. This Limited Editions Club volume (1941) was purchased in 2013.
