1.0 out of 5 stars Rip-Off, December 7, 2011
A Rip-Off for Australians when this is 12.50 here and 8.66 for others.

Also, you can buy the COMPLETE Cordwainer Smith from Baen webscriptions for $12 (2 x $6. It has all of this, Norstrilia and more.

It is all DRM free. So this is pathetically not worth it. Get it elsewhere Aussies.

Good book, but absolutely terrible value. Charging us 44% more for no reason at all. Especially as not even native dollar transactions. Hopeless, Australian publishers.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Instrumentallllity of Mankind, February 17, 2002
By 
David Bequette (Mary Esther, Fl. US A) - See all my reviews
As I have written in a previous review, Cordwainer Smith will remain in the memory of all who read his books for the rest of their lives. His characters and situations, as well as language and style of writing, lend themselves to such strong imaginings, a state of dreaming in some cases, that the possibilities, however far fetched, may be, just maybe could happen. Just maybe could...
Thank You
David Bequette
