11, huh? Which others? Are they for you, or for birthday presents?

Someone upstream mentioned "The Menace from Earth". That collection, and the other two, will be vital for your niece in a few years. Sigh... I love the title story from that, and from "The Man who Sold the Moon", and from "The Green Hills of Earth." And I love "The Long Watch" and "We Also Walk Dogs" and "Requium" and "All You Zombies" and "The Man Who Traveled in Elephants" and "And He Built a Crooked House".... ok, so I'm an early-Heinlein sucker...

Myranda's getting all the rest of the other new-used books except one. Since I gave away my copy of Citizen of the Galaxy - I get a replacement now. And, Myranda has her own home so she "needs" important stuff like this... and they are all duplicates of books I already have. :-)

You will like this news also, my new son-in-law is a Hitchhiker's Guide fan. I was pleasantly surprised at that. He is fitting into our bunch nicely! :-)

Yes! Forgot about "Menace From Earth."

That's definitely one for your niece, no question about it.

Regards,
