Nice to see Klarkash-ton pop up here from time to time. You're right, Dan, a prime candidate for a VIE-like effort. Now we merely need to drum up a couple hundred die-hards :p

I recently picked up the Gollancz UK C.A. Smith paperback, #26 in their series of Fantasy Masterworks. Whomever the first 25 may have been devoted to beats me though(*). The blurb claims it's the first collection spanning Smith's entire writing career. A hefty 580 pages, 45 stories, for not even 7 quid on Amazon (and 5-star reviews too). Cheapo paper-quality, but surprisingly crisp and clean print! A good introduction perhaps for those who wish to try him out? Go for it!

(*) Just joking... Quite a few old faves of mine in this series. Those Gollancz guys have taste :)
