I, too, would be prepared to shell out for a collection, even though I've managed to track down and buy the various anthologies. As for those that are now incorporated into full length novels, although I already have 'All The Rage', I still got myself a copy of 'The Last Rakosh' and a lovely little book it is too.

I heartily endorse the short story compilation. We'd all buy it, even if we have versions of all of them already, which I have.
Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.

Paul, where are most of the stories from SOFT and Others still in print? I always recommend "Soft" to people as one of my favorite short stories of all time but didn't know the story was in print somewhere.

With the rights to "The Long Way Home" and "The Last Rakosh" tied up, a complete RJ short collection is impossible at the moment.[/SIZE]

Good to hear, Paul.
Paul, Soft and others is out of print -- I think people would love to be able to get those stories again.
Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:I'd buy it too. Nice little collector's item.
I have all of the RJ shorts, except for Interlude. I would gladly buy a complete compilation too though.
