It has his foreword, where he succinctly restates his reasoning behind
his choice of unusual words, so I would think that it would at least
partly count.

Another piece that doesn't constitute a full book but must surely be
included among Gene's writings about BOTNS is his 1984 Boskone Book
piece on "Books in Book of the New Sun".

As for recent list silence, it's given me a chance to study the Whorl
archives, since I finally got around to reading EXODUS.

When the first of the new series comes out will there be a third list
for it?
