Alexis Panshin can be seen in the Huckster's Room at area cons.  He gets
a much bigger cut of the purchase price of his books if he sells them
himself.  (He also does a booming autograph buisness.)  I asked him the
above question at Philcon 1979, and he said that the publisher (Ace) never
bought it.  The impression I got was that he had sent around an outline,
but no one wanted to sell it.

I asked him about the title in February, at Boskone, and he held out no hope
about the book seeing light then, either.

	There is a long-standing split among philpsophers on the
    subject of names.  Realists take them seriously, believing them
    to be things.  Nominalists take them lightly, believing them to
    be means, believing them to be convienent labels.  Every man in
    the world is either a Realist or a Nominalist.  Give yourself a
    test: if someone called you a gigger or a fell-picker, and you
    knew it wasn't true, would you hit him or smile?  That's how
    easy it is to tell.
