Title: I absolutely *love* this book.
Review: Right up front I have to say that I am a big fan of Jack Vance. I was first introduced to Vance when I read his story titled "The Dragon Masters" in an anthology titled THE HUGO WINNERS 1955-1961 edited by Issac Asimov. This Anthology rarely sits in my bookshelf, as I love to pick it up and re-read any bit of any of the wonderful stories within. I was struck by Vance's originality and style of writing, and immediately looked for more of his titles. As most of Vance's books are out of print, Tales of the Dying Earth provides readers with an easily aquired introduction to this incredibly gifted author. As other reviewers have mentioned, the cover art has nothing to do with what's inside. This book has little continuity, rather it is a conglomeration of stories that will enchant and delight any fan of fantasy. I can easily say that this is one of my absolute favorite books in my collection, and I can happily recommend it to anyone.
