"Erle Melvin Korshak (who often went by Mel Korshak in his younger days) discovered sf in 1934 with the August Astounding and became a "rabid" collector in 1937. He was introduced to fandom by his friend Mark Reinsberg and by 1939, he was a well-known fan and one of the leaders of the Moonstruck Press publishing house. He was a member of the SFL towards the end of its run. He was one of the organizers, with Mark Reinsberg and Bob Tucker, of Chicon, the second World Science Fiction Convention, held September 1-2, 1940. He was secretary of the concom and presided over the first day of the con as "temporary chairman", when Reinsberg, the chairman, fell ill. The earliest lists of Worldcons (though not Chicon's own! ) named him as the chairman, though Reinsberg was restored to that position in the list published by Discon II in 1974. Korshak would have been a GoH at Chicon 8, the 2022 Worldcon, had he lived till then. " (from Wikipedia); Signed by Notable Personage, Unrelated. Very Good+ in Very Good- dust jacket .
