The book Rene asked about is by Jack Vance. I dont remember the title but it is one of a series set in a consistent universe where each book had as a title the name of a planet and its serial number for instance " Marune 984 " (not that Marune is necessarly the one asked for). The series is uneven but the better books are quite good Vance specializes in the invention of odd cultures. Jose Torre-Bueno decvax!duke!phs!jtb
