1 Get The Revised Edition
Took a chance on the ebook, as the title is ridiculously cheap.

Message at the front says "Revised, March 2005"--so if you're getting it from a marketplace seller or something, be sure they have the right version.

I can remember first picking up a paperbound trilogy by Mr. Miller some 20 years, an old Grove PB from the '60s. Loved it, and it keeps speaking to me to this very day.

Four stars because the text is marked up in the French manner, and it can be a little hard to deal with all the angle quotes and such.

Did buy the paperback as well, and love carrying all three around with me.
2 Wonderful Read--Publisher needs a copyeditor
The collection of three of Miller's greatest works in volume looked too good to be true. It was. Miller's great, brusque voice is here, but the production quality of the volume is very low. The text contains far too many errors, as if it were transcribed with no proofread prior to press. Buy another edition from a more reputable company.

Quote of the Day:


Top scientists agree that with the present rate of consumption, the earth's

supply of gravity will be exhausted before the 24th century. As man
struggles to discover cheaper alternatives, we need your help. Please...

CONSERVE GRAVITY

Follow these simple suggestions:

(1) Walk with a light step. Carry helium balloons if possible.
(2) Use tape, magnets, or glue instead of paperweights.
(3) Give up skiing and skydiving for more horizontal sports like curling.
(4) Avoid showers .. take baths instead.
(5) Don't hang all your clothes in the closet ... Keep them in one big pile.
(6) Stop flipping pancakes

else.
