> "Graylord Man's Last Words"
> "Shields of Mars"

FYI:  If you can't wait for next August, you can find "Empires of 
Foliage and Flower" in THE BEST OF CRANK! (edited by Bryan Cholfin) 
which I believe was published both in hardback and trade paperback by Tor.

Is that the same as "Empires of foliage and flower: A tale from
the Book of the wonders of urth and sky"?
if it is, that is really awesome as I've been looking for that
for a long while.

We'll have to update the list of uncollected Wolfe (which is online 
somewhere).  What's still outstanding?
