The Essential Ellison Harlan Ellison (Nemo Press 0-914261-01-0, Aug 87 [Jul 87], $29.95, 1019pp, hc) Collection of many, many stories and essays, edited by Terry Dowling, Richard Delap, and Gil Lamont. This is ment as a 35-year retrospective (its taken 3 years to publish) of Ellisons work, from his early 1949 juvenilia to his work in the 80s. Its not a best of, but a warts and all collection, divided into 15 sections with introductions to each one by one of the various editors. The texts of every item have been corrected, but not rewritten. It isnt a book you sit down and read as much as you browse it. It isnt even reviewable except as a book-length study of Ellisons life. Its a well made book despite its size, and should stand up to years of use even throwing across a room. A bargain at twice the price. Recommended. (CNB) A limited edition ($60) was announced, but has apparently not appeared yet.
