: : Until recently, I had no idea that there were other Vance fans out there - nobody I know in Sydney reads him, not even my many science fiction fan friends. I'm only a relative newcomer to 'net world, and the very first search I ever carried out was for the word "Vance". What a world has been opened up to me! I received my first parcel of second-hand Vance books a couple of months ago and a copy of "Ports of Call" from Amazon a month later - I thought I had died and gone to heaven!

: Same as Linda, "Vance" was the FIRST search I did when I entered the Internet world. What an extraordinary coincidence ... or is it ? I'm pretty sure many others did the same . Can we start counting ? Just add your testimony to this list.

Count me in as well: one of the first entries was Vance to find out which books I had missed and to find out where I could get them. resulted in an U-M Man in the Cage after >20 years among others.
i love all the background and the information on the pages. things like the vancephiles (linked here as well as on remy's page) are also excellent.
