So are such notable pieces as a signed, first-edition copy of Mary Shelley’s novel “Frankenstein” and a first-edition copy of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” that was signed not only by Stoker but also Lugosi, Boris Karloff and numerous other horror film notables.
The auction, tentatively scheduled for the last week of April, is expected to raise $500,000, said Joe Maddalena, president of Profiles in History, which is handling the sale.
Ackerman, the science-fiction writer, editor and literary agent widely credited with coining the term sci-fi, spent a lifetime collecting tens of thousands of pieces, ranging from the junky to the very rare. He died last December at age 92.
“I’m holding that stuff in my hand and I’m just like, ‘Wow, these are his most iconic treasurers,’” Maddalena said when he was invited by Ackerman’s estate to auction the collection. He said Ackerman’s will stipulates that his estate’s share of the profits be divided among his friends.
At one time Ackerman had a collection of 300,000 pieces of science-fiction film memorabilia, 50,000 books and the complete sets of 200 science-fiction magazines. During his final years he contributed many pieces to museums and sold some others, but held on to thousands more.
Toronto, Canada, February 6, 2009 – Like food for the mind, KENKEN™, the brain-teasing game, has been proclaimed “the most addictive puzzle since sudoku” by New York Times Crossword Puzzle Editor Will Shortz. KENKEN is the exciting, new Japanese “brain game” sweeping North America and soon will be the latest electronic game from iToys Inc., the leading developer of electronic handheld games. With such critically acclaimed hits as Deal or No Deal as well as NBC Sports, Family Feud, Price Is Right and more, iToys has secured the exclusive worldwide licensing rights for KENKEN handheld electronic games.
iToys rolls out its first KENKEN handheld electronic game to mass retailers in January 2009.
“KENKEN is a wildly entertaining and thoroughly mind-absorbing puzzle game that already is well on its way to becoming bigger than sudoku,” said iToys Toycoon George Irwin. “With ten levels of difficulty, everyone can play and, no matter what their age, once they pick it up they won’t be able to put it down.”
“We’re delighted iToys is a new partner in the KENKEN family,” said Robert Fuhrer, the New York businessman whose company, Nextoy™, licenses and markets the puzzle worldwide.
iToys’ all-new KENKEN game offers thousands of puzzles on 3×3 to 6×6 grids. Features include:
Designed for ages eight and up, KENKEN will be offered for a suggested retail price of $19.99.
KENKEN was launched in 2004 by puzzle master and teacher extraordinaire Tetsuya Miyamoto, quickly becoming Japan’s hottest brain game. Mr. Miyamoto was looking for an engaging – and fun – tool to help teach his students, and devised KENKEN, which translates as “wisdom squared” or “cleverness squared.” He believes that conventional teaching has failed and that by concentrating on this novel way of problem-solving, the mind becomes a more potent tool for the rest of one’s life. Newspapers from around the world have added KENKEN puzzles, including such leading dailies as The Times of London, Boston Globe and NYTimes.com.
KENKEN is an arithmetic-based puzzle game that, like sudoku, is played on a grid using numbers. It is “beyond sudoku,” however, by taking the puzzle one step further and incorporating math skills, including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Game play ranges from very easy to extremely difficult. “The hardest ones,“ added Fuhrer, “could challenge even Einstein.”
iToys joins a growing roster of KENKEN licensees, including Harper Collins, St. Martin’s Press, United Features Syndicate, Nintendo, Reader’s Digest, CapCom and Dell Penny Press.

Universal City, Calif. (February 5, 2009) Caprica, the highly anticipated prequel to “Battlestar Galactica,” will enjoy its world premiere exclusively on DVD on April 21, 2009 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. In a groundbreaking move sure to delight fans of the long-running television phenomenon, the feature-length prequel will be available on DVD as a limited-edition uncut and unrated version before the series’ broadcast premiere on the
SCI FI Channel in 2010. Caprica is executive produced by Ronald D. Moore and David Eick (“Battlestar Galactica”) and Remi Aubuchon (“24”). Exclusive bonus features that take viewers behind the scenes of the creation of Caprica make this DVD a landmark event for any fan of “Battlestar Galactica.” The film will also be available at selected online destinations for digital download transactions.
As “Battlestar Galactica” wraps its gripping final season on SCI FI on March 20, 2009, Caprica begins a brand new epic saga that continues the franchise’s commitment to thought-provoking storytelling and extraordinary characters. Set over 50 years before the events of “Battlestar Galactica,” Caprica is a world at the peak of its power, grappling with new science and technologies and the issues they create. The series will star Golden Globe nominee Eric Stoltz (Mask, Pulp Fiction), Esai Morales (“Jericho,” “NYPD Blue”), Paula Malcomson (“Deadwood” “ER”) and Golden Globe® nominee Polly Walker (“Cane,” “Rome”) in a story laced with passion, intrigue and family conflict.
“We are thrilled to take the groundbreaking step of offering the world-premiere of the Caprica feature-length extended pilot episode on DVD prior to the new series’ television debut,” said Hilary Hoffman, Senior Vice President, Brand and Digital Marketing for Universal Studios Home Entertainment. “This innovative distribution model will serve to satisfy ‘Battlestar Galactica’ fans’ appetites for a new content while building excitement for the franchise’s next great adventure.”
“Ever since fans first caught wind of the ‘Battlestar Galactica’ prequel Caprica, they have been eagerly following its development,” said Mark Stern, Executive Vice President, Original Programming for SCI FI & Co-Head Original Content, Universal Cable Productions. “We wanted to give them a chance to see the pilot in its original form and experience the prequel to the BSG story while that series’ finale was still ringing in their ears. It also affords the creative team an unprecedented chance to get viewers feedback before production on the Caprica series begins this summer.”
“If ‘Battlestar Galactica’ offered us a way to shatter the conventions of space opera, Caprica will be a show which will challenge the conventions of science fiction storytelling as a whole,” said Ronald D. Moore, Executive Producer/Writer.
“Part sweeping soap, part meditation on the dangerous moral ramifications of artificial intelligence, this is a truly unique opportunity to continue telling stories which will be as daring and shocking as the best of ‘Galactica’ — and yet will be altogether different from ‘Galactica,’” said David Eick, Executive Producer.
Universal Cable Productions will begin production on the “Caprica” series in the summer of 2009 in Vancouver for a 2010 television premiere on the SciFi Channel. The DVD of Caprica is priced at $26.98 S.R.P.
