Jonatwork:

I'm relieved to see that G Vallejo also got the impression from your original post that you hadn't read any of the books--I think that's the effect of listing a bunch of titles and asking for recommendations. Communication can be a %%#%$! Obviously all of these books have their adherents or they wouldn't have been listed, but other than that it's a matter of taste and there's nobody whose opinion you can count on.. At least you know what you're in for when checking out books from a bygone day--there was a post somewhere around here from a guy who thinks the old stuff is what came out in the 1980s.
