	As an old Piers addict, I note that no-one has mentioned his 'cave'
books, "CTHON" and "PTHOR", nor "HASSAN", an attempt to emulate the style of 
"The Arabian Nights." 

	I also agree that his earlier work was much better; we weren't 
required to repeatedly share the slow and delayed adolescence of some
feeble-minded person going through thier pimply period in public. "SOS
THE ROPE", origionaly serialized in F&SF, won him his first hugo, and I
gree that he hasn't done anything to match "MACROSCOPE." One keeps hoping,
though.
