Get in Touch
I love hearing from readers, collectors, and fellow vintage sci-fi obsessives. Whether you have a question, a recommendation, spotted an error, or just want to talk about why The Stars My Destination deserves more love… drop me a line.
Email Me
📧 [reggie @ vintagescificlassics.com]
This is the best way to reach me for anything substantial.
I typically reply within 2–3 business days. Sometimes faster if I’m between deep dives into obscure New Wave authors. Sometimes slower if I’m elbow-deep in estate sale paperback boxes with no cell signal.
What You Can Email Me About
Questions:
- “I’m new, what’s a good [book] to start with?”
- “I loved [this film]… what should I watch next?”
- “How do I start collecting without going broke?”
Recommendations:
- “You need to cover [author/book/film] on the site.”
- “Have you read/seen [obscure gem]?”
- “Here’s a thrift store find you’d appreciate…”
Corrections:
- “You got the publication year wrong on [X].”
- “That’s not the right cover artist.”
- “Actually, the Criterion release is better than the standard Blu-ray because…”
I want to know. I’d rather fix an error than leave it up.
What Not to Email Me About
❌ Asking me to appraise your collection.
I’m not a rare book dealer, and valuations are tricky. Try AbeBooks or a local rare book specialist.
❌ Asking me to buy your collection.
I’m a collector, not a dealer. If you’re selling, try eBay, AbeBooks, or local used bookstores.
❌ Spam, MLM pitches, crypto schemes, or “guest post” offers that are thinly veiled link farms.
Instant delete.

Comments
I don’t have a comments section on posts yet (it’s on the to-do list), but I do read every email.
If you have thoughts on a specific post, just email me the link and your take. I love hearing what resonates, what you disagree with, and what I missed.
A Quick Note on Response Times
I run this site solo while juggling many other responsibilities. That means:
- I read every email, but I can’t always reply to everything immediately.
- Detailed questions get detailed answers, which sometimes takes a few days.
- Short notes (“loved this post!”) might get a quick thank-you, or might just get filed in my “makes my day” folder if I’m swamped.
I appreciate your patience. Running a one-person website about 70-year-old paperbacks is a labor of love, not a corporate operation.
One Last Thing
If you’ve found this site helpful – if a post led you to a great book, helped you find a deal, or just made you smile – the best thing you can do is share it.
Send a link to a friend who’d appreciate it.
Pin a post to Pinterest.
Mention it in a Reddit thread where it’s actually relevant.
Word of mouth is how sites like this grow, and I appreciate every share more than you know.
Thanks for being here.
