The following is a list of notable deaths in [[September 2008]]. |
|||
'''DAW Books''' is a [[science fiction]] and [[fantasy]] [[publisher]], founded by [[Donald A. Wollheim]] following his departure from [[Ace Books]] in [[1971]]. The company therefore claims to be "the first publishing company ever devoted exclusively to science fiction and fantasy." The first DAW Book published was the 1972 short story collection ''Spell of the Witch World'' by [[Andre Norton]]. |
|||
===[[September 30|30]]=== |
|||
In its early years under the leadership of Wollheim and his wife Elsie, DAW gained a reputation of publishing popular though not always critically acclaimed works of science fiction and fantasy. Nevertheless, the company published numerous books by well-respected authors in the 1970s, including such luminaries as [[Marion Zimmer Bradley]], [[Fritz Leiber]], [[Edward Llewellyn]], [[Jerry Pournelle]], [[Roger Zelazny]] and many others. In 1982, [[C. J. Cherryh]]'s ''[[Downbelow Station]]'' was the first DAW book to win the [[Hugo Award]] for [[Hugo Award for Best Novel|best novel]], which gained the publishing house increased respect within the industry. |
