This is now part of CASTLE OF DAYS (an\nomnibus of COTA and GENE WOLFE'S BOOK OF DAYS, a collection of short\nstories, and a third section of previously uncollected stuff).  You\npretty much need it.  Somebody around here quietly argues that \"Books\nin TBOTNS\" of PLAN[E]T ENGINEERING ought to have been put into CASTLE\nOF DAYS, and there is merrit to that notion since it is the only Urth\nessay in PE, and a powerful one at that."

          "text": "If you mean me (and it's conceivable that you don't), what I've argued\nfor is slightly more radical: I'd like to see OTTER reissued under\nthat name, with \"Books in Books of the New Sun\" substituted for what\nseems like several chapters worth of capsule rave reviews that Wolfe\nincluded in the original edition.  I don't know if it was vanity or\nthe desire to fill out pages, but it gets a bit tiresome after a\nwhile.  It might also be nice to have an additional essay by Wolfe on\nthe entire series, since OTTER actually predates CITADEL; indeed, its\ntitle is a play on the mis-reported title presented in a LOCUS \"coming\nattractions\" feature.\n\nD"
