Thanks for saving me the trouble of the correction. :-) > Where can I find those stories?! They (and a number of other stories) are in _Manna from Heaven_, which just came out from the Fantastic Book club, http://www.fantasticbookclub.com/. The title _Manna from Heaven_ is similar to _Unicorn Variations_ inasmuch as it has an almost-but-not-quite title story: "Mana from Heaven" and "Unicorn Variation", respectively. I don't have my Zelazny books (other than this new one) easily to hand; were any of his other collections titled like that? -- Jim Toth jtoth at megrez.org
