If nothing else, for the short story 'Moon Moth' this is a must-read. The story is legendary already, and a great introduction to Vance's unique talent. The other stories are well worth reading as well. My copy is a small treasure that often comes off the shelf. I've lent to a number of friends who now love Vance's other works. Why isn't he better appreciated in the US? In Europe he's revered as a great scifi author.
Uneven collection of classic Vance

A good collection of Vance tidbits. Several of the stories ("Green Magic", "Moon Moth") are among my very favorite examples of Vance's unique and wonderful style. Definitely worth having.
