Distant Stars (1981)

An Ibooks reprint of an earlier collection. having never seen the earlier one, not sure if it was illustrated the same way, but there is a lot of drawing in here, and even one page montages throughout showing several of the illustrations in one circle.

Empire Star here it would seem was actually published as a book quite a long time ago when people still published very short books.

A combination of science fiction and fantasy here.

The first Samuel Delany book I ever bought. He is an amazing writer. ( )

This is a very nice collection of stories: essential Delany. 'Empire Star' is one of my favorite pieces, though there isn't a story in the collection that I don't find entertaining. ( )
