LAURENCE@SU-CSLI.ARPA (06/08/85)
From: Laurence R Brothers <LAURENCE@SU-CSLI.ARPA> A couple of years ago, I asked Baird Searles at the SF Bookshop, and he said that Panshin's problems with his publisher had been ironed out and we could expect the book any time now. This is obviously not quite true (either that or there were a LOT of errors in the galleys...) -Laurence -------

He mentioned that there were at least three (!) more Villiers novels in his head, but that they hadn't hit paper yet. I bought the short-story collection he was promoting there. It included most of the 'mini-stories' from his novels, e.g. "To a Teacup Held For Murder." Alas, the book also included an essay on the sterility of science fiction and why he wasn't writing it any more. Summary: One shouldn't hold one's breath (although I am!) while waiting for *the Galactic Pantograph*. -- Elizabeth Hanes Perry UUCP: {decvax |ihnp4 | linus| cornell}!dartvax!betsy CSNET: betsy@dartmouth ARPA: betsy%dartmouth@csnet-relay "Ooh, ick!" -- Penfold
