	Spider Robinson is a terrific writer (as well as a terrific blues gui-
tarist and a terrific person). Other books of his include:
	CALLAHAN'S CROSSTIME SALOON     (short stories --- a *must*!!)
	TIME TRAVELLERS STRICTLY CASH   (more Callahan's stories, among others)
	ANTINOMY    (more short stories --- note: it's AntiNoMy, not AntiMoNy)
	TELEMPATH   (a novel -- not great, but fairly good)
	STARDANCE   (with his wife Jeanne --- another must!)

I'm sure that CALLAHAN'S and TIME TRAVELLERS (both from Ace) and STARDANCE (from
Tor) are currently in print. I don't think TELEMPATH is. I'm not sure about
ANTINOMY.

"True Names" was written by Vernor Vinge (ex-husband of Joan Vinge). He's had 2
books out in the past. His first, GRIMM'S WORLD (Berkley, circa 1968) has been
long out of print, but is worth scouring the used-book stores for. His second,
THE WITLING (DAW, circa 1976), *may* still be in print, but I doubt it. Not as
good as GRIMM'S, but still a nice read. He currently has another novel being
serialized in ANALOG ("The Peace Game", starting with the May 1984 issue).
