I just picked up Spider Robinson's new anthology Melencholy Elephants.
In the forward, Spider says that only a few copies of the anthology
Antinomy were sold and it is therefore a rare book. Since I have a copy
of Antinomy, I am curious just how rare it is. Anybody know?

I have a copy, too, but I've seen it here and there in the used book stores, so it never struck me as being particularly rare. Actually, the "rarest" Robinson (in the sense that few people know of it) I know of is the 1978 Ace edition of Philip Nowlan's ARMAGEDDON 2419 A.D. (the original Buck Rogers novel). For that edition (prompted by the movie/tv show, no doubt), Ace had Spider re-write the book with a more modern tone. Credit *is* given in the book, so this isn't just rumor or speculation. Now I've just given Robinson completists something to look for. :-) --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Acton-Nagog, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...} !decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.DEC.COM <"Bibliography is my business">
