I spent many years as a kid scouring used book stores, collecting and reading vintage sci fi. Alan Dean Foster's furry-esque Spellsinger books made a great fun impression when I was 13, 14, 15 in the early 90's. (Were those read by the Gallacci groups?) These days I deal books but don't have time for fun sci fi reading. I have a lot of love for it though. When I saw this title I thought "who?" and looked him up expecting something minor and forgotten (before I read the review). But, he looks like a gem I overlooked. Here's his page. He certainly has a lot of history, a few awards, some great connections, and a love for what he does at over age 80. Long time working genre authors seem to never age in their interests and relationships with what they do.
