This is the program book (sans program) of Noreascon Two, the 38th World Science Fiction Convention, held in Boston, Massachusetts, over the 1980 Labor Day weekend.
Wraparound cover by Jane Mackenzie and Philip Hagopian showing the Boston Public Garden: Fan Guest of Honor Bruce Pelz powers the Swan Boat wherein ride Guests of Honor Damon Knight and Kate Wilhelm; on the shore a roller-skated chairman, Leslie Turek, stands next to a mounted policeman, Toastmaster Robert Silverberg. The small dragons recall Make Way for Ducklings.
