“While all 39 of the stories and all 13 of the novellas have been published previously, many haven’t appeared in print in decades — which alone makes this collection worth the price…Fans of Le Guin should get both books. People who have read one story of hers on a college syllabus but nothing else should get both books. Critics should get both books as well as her recent essay collection Words Are My Matter.”↗
