A projected collection of the fan writing of BoSh (Bob Shaw) published in 1979 by Rob Jackson of Surrey, UK. It was published in two volumes as below; plans for further collections in this series did not materialize until 2020.

1. The Best of the Bushel, which collects the best of his The Glass Bushel columns from Hyphen with a new introduction by Walt Willis and an introductory note to each column by Bob Shaw himself.

2. The Eastercon Speeches, collecting the speeches he gave at many Eastercons.

Taral reviews them in File 770 20, p. 17.

In 2019 Rob Jackson joined forces with Dave Langford to produce a much more nearly "Complete BoSH" as three Ansible Editions ebooks, beginning with the famous speeches which had continued not only at Eastercons but at Worldcons and other events – hence the new title. All three have cover artwork by Jim Barker.

1. The Serious Scientific Talks (November 2019), including all previous collections of Serious Scientific Talks plus five speeches never before collected.

2. The Full Glass Bushel (July 2020), with all The Glass Bushel columns (including the full contents of The Best of the Bushel and two more columns that appeared in Science Fiction Review) plus all Bob Shaw's other fannish pieces for Hyphen.

3. Slow Pint Glass (August 2020), a huge collection of other Bob Shaw fanwriting outside the scope of the first two volumes.
