Dedication

The credit for this collection plainly goes to Don Wollheim, who came up with the idea back in 1979. It took me a few more years, to be sure, to have written a body of short fiction; and for a few years after that what I had written was scattered here and there and some of it too currently in print. So I put the project off. And put it off.

Then I thought of it several times and put it off again-until in 1984 Don inquired not once but a second time where that collection was.

To answer the question, here it is, Don; and this one is dedicated to you.
