After seeing a few different Jack Vance lists (most of which are 80-90%
complete), I thought I'ld give my version (rare and obsure books included).
Jack Vance has written some marvelous stuff in his unique style: my
favorites are the Demon Princes and Dying Earth series. If he has one
flaw, it's that all of his main characters have the same voice, a witty,
sardonic, (optionally) world-weary person.
[C] == Short Story Collection.
[CP] == Chapbook (a very short book, or pamphlet)..
[J] == The book is for juveniles (however you define them)
[O] == Omnibus. Includes other books.
aka == Also known by this other title.
contains == The other book is a subset of this one
includes == This book wholely includes the other
