Urth-Man Extraordinary
Reply: Item #4111204 from WHORL at LISTS.BEST.COM@INTERNET#
Ron Crown,
I'm happy to have helped out and find myself quite impressed that you already possess the artifacts (after all, =that= is the hard part!). By all means start on that annotated list of secondary sources
=immediately=!
"It's not just for me," he said selfishly, drooling with open
avarice. "Think about all the others . . . there must be
hundreds--dozens!"
Since I got in trouble with Galactic Central UK for the incomplete info I gave in AE&2, my albatrosspenance is to write that:
Outside of the US, "Urth-Man Extraordinary" is available (2.50 pounds sterling) from
Phil Stephensen-Payne
`Imladris'
25A Copgrove Road
LEEDS
West Yorkshire
LS8 2SP
ENGLAND
(Tell him I sent you and maybe they'll take this stinking bird off my neck!)
Everybody who does not already have it must buy this Gene Wolfe bibliography
=right now=. That means =today=.
I can't remember how I ever found out about it (probably it was Dan Knight of United Mythologies who mentioned it?), but once I got a copy I discovered many things for the first time, including: Crampton's "Book of Gold" fanzine, obscure Wolfe stories, and more. Galactic Central has forty-two titles or more--I've also bought copies of their biblios on Jack Vance and Edgar Pangborn, both are excellent. (I'm just about due to buy some new ones--who next? <g>)
They are inexpensive; they are good; they are good for you.
