I have just finished a short story by Peter Phillips called "Manna" and would like to find other stories or novels by him. The intro to the story mentions that he has written several stories, but doesn't mention novels. "Manna" is copyright 1949 and the anthology it is in does not mention a source. Does anyone know in which anthologies I could find other stories by this author, and if he ever wrote any books? PLEASE NOTE: This is to be considered a personal challenge to jmb. Please do not answer to the net until he has posted his answer. I don't really want to cause another net flood. (Mail is always welcome, though.) Thanks in advance. -Dragon -- UUCP: ...ucbvax!dual!lll-crg!dragon ARPA: monica.cellio@cmu-cs-cad or dragon@lll-crg

I certainly can't turn down a personal challenge, but be advised that if I'm caught in a work break like I was the other month, you may well wait for a month or more for your answer.
