I\ncan't remember the title, but I thought the\nsubtitle/description was something like \"Wolfe on Writing\".\nHas anyone read this?  Does it contain new material, or is\nit simply a compilation of stuff that has appeared elsewhere\n(for example, Castle of Days)?\n---END QUOTE---\n\nHey Scase,\n\nI'm not sure if it is any different than what's in Castle of Days (I don't\nown it.)  I can give you the technical specs on the book, though. It's\ntitled \"Shadow of the New Sun: Wolfe on Writing/Writers on Wolfe.\" It's\nedited by Peter Wright and published by Liverpool University Press. The ISBN\nis 978-84631-058-4. No price on the cover of my trade paperback copy, but I\nthink I paid around $30  US at amazon.\n\nLooking at the copyrights page, here's the list of where Wolfe's writings\noriginally appeared:\n\n   - *Plan[e]t Engineering*\n   - 10 original (copyrighted 2007) very short works\n   - *The Writer, *1980\n\nHope that helps!"
