That's what I wrote in the Guestbook the first time I visited this site : I have about 1600 SF books , and if I fell so low as to have to sell them, I'd keep the Vance books, and rather starve , re-reading them to the end ... And in particular the Lyonesse trilogy, so bittersweet, so melancholy, so deep. This is a masterpiece. Let's all rave together, then.
What strikes me among the various remarks from the JV "fans", is that we all have felt scorned and laughed at for our "strange taste", and thanks to Mike B, we all have suddenly realised we were not alone. We owe him much for this, thanks, Mike.

: Elisabeth,
: I recently had another, more opposite experience: somebody in Amsterdam advertised all his SF books for sale, so I called (I live in The Netherlands) and he had about 100 - 130 SF books.
: Do you have any Vance in that?. 'That are the only once I keep' he told me.
