ENDANGERED SPECIES
Wolfe, Gene Octavo, boards. Collects thirty-four stories including two, "The Cat" and "The Map," set on Urth. "A bumper volume of thirty-four SF, fantasy and horror stories by one of the the field's finest writers. Standouts include the well-known 'The HORARS of War' (1970) and 'The Detective of Dreams' (1980), although there are such comparatively playful pieces as 'When I Was Ming the Merciless' (1975) and 'The Last Thrilling Wonder Story' (1982). Despite the jokes, Wolfe is always intense and surprising." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 120. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#169087) (29794)- $100

THE ENGINES OF THE NIGHT: SCIENCE FICTION IN THE EIGHTIES
Malzberg, Barry N. Octavo, pp. [i-vii] viii [ix-xi] xii [xiii-xiv] [1] 2-198 [199] [200-202: blank] [note: last leaf is a blank], boards. Thirty-six essays focusing on the current state of the genre with analyses of the factors that caused its decline. Malzberg argues that the decade of the 1950s was the "golden age" of American SF and its decline during the last two decades was largely due to restricted market, lazy authors, and commercial practices of editors and publishers. Many of Malzberg's charges were and are still on target. [Reference: Anatomy of Wonder (1995) 8-83]. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#169347) (29997)- $100
