R.A. Salvatore Collection 

The Audio/Visual lots contain the following types of materials: Drawings and Prints; Posters; Audio and Visual tapes; and Realia. Mr. Salvatore's writings have generated tremendous interest in depicting the characters he has created. Many drawings come from fans and most of these have been kept with the fan correspondence. However, a sampling of these drawings have been included in this lot as well as a few commercial renderings. Posters, although often publicity related, have because of their size been included in the AV holdings. When available audio books of Mr. Salvatore's works are part of this lot. Realia is a collection of physical items, especially convention badges and pins as well as a few gift items, gaming cards, etc.

The items that comprise these lots represent visual, audio, and physical materials dealing with Mr. Salvatore’s works and activities.  Of particular interest are the drawings depicting characters from Mr. Salvatore’s books.  Similar drawings can be found scattered among his fan correspondence.  Publicity and publisher posters also provide a vivid portrayal of the realms of fantasy.
