From archive (archive) Subject: Author Lists: Spider Robinson From: JWenn.ESAE@XEROX.COM Date: 13 Feb 89 09:26:03 GMT To me Spider Robinson is one of those frustrating writers. He obviously has the ability to be a great writer, but just hasn't put everything together yet. Never the less, he has written some fine material. I like his Callahan series (except how he ended it) and "Stardance". [C] == Short Story Collection. [O] == Omnibus. Includes other books. /John arpa: JWenn.ESAE@Xerox.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- Robinson, Spider [U.S.A., Canada, 1948- ] Callahan and Company [1988] [O] Callahan's Crosstime Saloon [1977] [C] Time Travellers Strictly Cash [1981] [C] Calahan's Secret [1986] [C] In Series: Mindkiller [1982] Time Pressure [1987] Telempath [1976] Armageddon 2419 A.D.

And it was a collection rather than a novel, and if you read the author's introduction to MELANCHOLY ELEPHANTS [Tor, 1985], he explains that "...the week ANTINOMY was released, Dell made the decision to drop its science fiction line--making it one of the only books ever to be remaindered *during* publication." Four of the stories in M.E. are reprinted from ANTINOMY. ANTINOMY was a rather special collection, and I consider myself lucky to have picked up a copy when it was available; in addition to the usual stories -- if Spider Robinson's stories could ever be called "usual" -- are numerous forewords, afterwords, a bunch of puns, a whole bunch of songs, and "other diversions". -- Michael C.

Definitely. My copy is getting ragged, and when it wears out it'll likely never be easily replaced. The ISBN is 0-440-10235-9 and the cover price is $2.25 (those were the days...).
