I'd only read his post-apocalypse short stories before I got these, and I have to say the guy has a real touch. The stories are not all equal but there are two that are as good as any SF I've ever read. Too much of his stuff is available only as paperback or almost impossible-to-find hardcovers. Somebody published modern editions of two of his books, Davy and A Mirror for Observers, the books said other volumes were to come, but it's been some years and they've never appeared. I'd buy them in a heartbeat. ( )
