    I don't give negatives; However, description was not correct; No price guide was included in this book.As you will see in book pic shown; title states price guide included, no price guide inside. Communication poor, description, no communication price guide missing from this book. Shipping time was weeks before it was even shipped. Blamed the shipping on warehouse. You own & operate a business; your warehouse is not up to standards you change who you do business with. It's your responsibility.

    In my opinion, Dhalgren is the most important science fiction novel of the past half-century - and possibly the most important novel, period.

The above list does not cover everything Samuel R. Delany tackles in the nearly-900-page ...
