: Is anything known about this book? Is it about Iocounou, from the Cugel series?
It will be a collection of all the Cugel stories in one volume, from Underwood Books. I don't think there will be any new material, although perhaps some new illustrations.
: Another thing I'm curious about is this: I subscribed to the Vance BBS, and so I get all the messages from the other members, but why do I get every message at least 4 times? Is that standard or is anything wrong?
I occasionally get duplicate messages, but rarely more than two. I haven't been able to figure out what's wrong. The BBS software and the email software were both free, so I don't get much customer support.
: For the rest it's fun to be in contact with Vance fanatics, just like me. I live in the Netherlands, and Vance is still big news in the SF scene. Hope to hear more from you all.
He's still big in the U.S. too. I've noticed that a lot of the "regulars" here have joined in the discussions about Vance on the "rec.arts.sf.written" newsgroup.
