I think so, but it's been a while since I read it. @lynneahardy.bsky.social will know better

Also now I have to go see if I kept my Vance book after reading it for the S&S shows a year or two back...

Nothing says fun reading like footnotes!

I did learn the word picaresque from reading Cugel. Wonder how I managed without that word in my life?

Wow is it that obvious - would never have occurred to me!

Looking forward to it, even though it means reading about Cugel again!

You're gonna have to help me out here?

Had to Google to figure this is something called Brain Donors? Never heard of it, but guessing you like it a lot!

Nice one, seen Old Boy 6 or 7 times but not 10. Great choice!

The tradition ended in my house a few years back when it hit a fiver! Must fight nostalgic urge to buy again...
