heya folks, time for some input from me. i think what really makes CDS my favorite is the way he treats his characters; i've never been a fan of reading a book...
I wholeheartedly agree with you. Not only does Simak care about his characters, he also makes the readers care about them. Colleen Jeff <jozzcooper@...>...
That's right:) I love those guys:) I was accustomed to happy endings and probably that's why I was a bit shocked when I finished Time and Again. There's so...
I came across a copy of Time and Again a year, or so, ago and had occasion to re-read for the first time it since I was in high school. It struck me, as an...
I agree. You get some wonderful insights from these stories, Paul. Sounds like a good topic for an essay. I've become convinced that there are lessons to be...
When I read the book, I didn't see the double-meanings - perhaps I am just dense - but, I enjoyed the book anyway because it was another Simak. I'm sure it...
"The Big Front Yard" reads pretty well for one of Simak's shorter works. A novella, or long short story. jp Hello all, my name is jeff and i just joined the...
Hello everyone. I'm not only a simak fan, but a fan of s/f in general, and i've noticed that many writers have achieved some recognition in the mainstream, but...
The old timer science fiction fans are quite aware of him and his works. The newer generations probably aren't. Colleen Jeff <jozzcooper@...> wrote: ...
I absolutely agree with Colleen. Although that depends on the country too. Where I come from (Bulgaria), people know Simak better than in France (where I'm a...
When I first read Big Front Yard I felt really sorry that it ended so soon:) Would have loved to see that guy through a thousand worlds more! Well... that's in...
Simak, God rest his soul, has been sadly overlooked, in my opinion. By the way, does anyone know he also wrote pulp western stories. I would love to see some...
Hi all, I've been reading and collecting Simak stuff since about 1979 when I was a teenager. In all these years, I've gotten nothing but blank stares from...
I haven't read that one because I have a few more of Simak's novels to read, and am putting off Highway to Eternity until last. That was his last book, I...
It looks like a very good collection! I'm still thinking about ordering it... by the time I decide, it will be out of print:) I was wondering... When was City...
Hi, I just noticed that on Ebay they have a listing for a very rare Clifford Simak short story "Nine Lives". It was only available in the December 1957 Short...
I've noticed that neither Barnes and Noble or Borders carry Simak books. Amazon has a few new editions and tons of "used", many under a dollar. I've gotten...
This is sad to see authors as good as Simak "forgotten" and lost so quickly. jp I've noticed that neither Barnes and Noble or Borders carry Simak books....
I also have a copy of this book. It's a truly beautiful piece of work. Be aware that the publisher is a very small company and they still have some quirks in...

I'm fortunate in that I live in the metro area in which Clifford Simak spent the bulk of his life (Minneapolis/St. Paul), and occasionally find his materials...
I got my autographed copy of Worlds Without End in a bookstore in Lancaster, PA. It cost me a bundle but I'm happy to have it. It was inscribed to someone...
The library thing is all too true. I grew up in Lafayette, La, where the city library had almost all of Simak's novels and short-story collections. Having...
There is something you can do to help keep Simak's books available in your library. Check them out. When I moved here five years ago, there were only two Simak...
Very good point, Paul. There are only two Simak books in my local library, two copies of City and one of Way Station, but more at the university. Maybe we...

Thanks for the info! I'll try to get it from there:) I know there is another bibliography by Muriel Becker but its a bit expensive for me... It's a pity that...
