Since it's nearly vacation time again, that means more hunting through endless stacks of books at innumerable small-town second-hand bookshops between Calgary and Vancouver. My Appendix N list comes in handy at those locations, as i've already purchased the books in black text. I just need to look for the ones in red.

I cannot recommend Magician highly enough. I just finished Apprentice and Master (Magician was split into two books in the U.S.) recently and they were great.
Nice to see someone else that roams secondhand stores. I tend to go to two nearby Goodwills from time to time and they are sometimes a rich goldmine. I managed to snag a copy of Swords Against Death by Fritz Leiber on Sunday.
I've a sneaking suspicion that you may have snapped up *all* the Vance books in these parts.
Why couldn't it have been all the R. A. Salvatore dreck???
I'm looking mostly at the red, seems like that is mostly what I own and I'm missing your black (well not all of it)
For what it's worth, I just read Kyrik and the Wizard's Sword and it was good. Obviously, Gardner was, in some sense of the term, a hack, but the actual denoument was rather surprisingly sentimental (in a good way).
Do you troll Ebay at all (that's where I got mine)?

Thanks for the recommendations. I love haunting used bookstores, I don't at all mind the old book smell, and you discover hidden treasures from time to time.

I'm notorious for rescuing old Vance titles, for which I apologize. I think I may have several titles in triplicate. You're wlecome to visit and liberate any duplicates.

My problem with eBay is the shipping. I can sometimes find titles at a decent price, but by the time you factor in international shipping, the cost can become prohibitive. Fox doesn't dazzle, but I agree his tales have a certain charm. He's no Howard, though.
