IgnitionExclamationPoint is one of my favorite books. I fear I may have inadvertently driven its price up by singing its praises on the Net for many years. Still haven't found a used copy of the hardcover at a reasonable price, but Henry Spencer did, so he kindly gave me the photocopy he used to have. And there are libraries.

Would love to see it in print again. Getting the Apogee folks interested is a good idea.

Did you know that Clark sold a few SF stories, co-authored a famous essay about Conan the Barbarian, and roomed with L. Sprague de Camp at college?
