This Mortal Mountain: Collected Stories of Roger Zelazny - Sci-Fi Fantasy Book for Reading & Collecting - Perfect for Book Lovers & Sci-Fi Enthusiasts

Another fantastic, well done continuation of the collected works & the life of Roger Zelazny. NESFA really did a fantastic job with this as they have with the others in the collection. The amount of research & documentation they did is staggering. They collected comments & old correspondence from Zelazny's friends & peers. The sheer number of authors that he interacted with is amazing. A list of them reads like the Who's Who of the SF & Fantasy community. The insight into that community is wonderful.The stories were fantastic, as always. They were also well documented, each with a summary explanation of the allusions made & with related comments either by Zelazny, his editor or peers. Exactly what I've come to expect from the previous works. More fantastic was the corrected conversation between Morningside & Jack from "Jack of Shadows". It never seemed to be quite right & now I know why. There was also a deleted scene from "The Guns of Avalon" that was interesting, but not critical.I had one complaint with the book, the lack of a few pictures. In the previous books, once or twice it was mentioned that Zelazny wrote a story based on a picture. In this volume, it was mentioned several times fairly close together. Often enough that I put the book down & tried to find them on the Internet without any luck. Even thumbnails would have been nice. A fairly minor complaint, but a real one. If I could knock off a 1/4 star for it, I would. I've heard that early in 2010, there might be a 7th volume that will correct this.All told, this is another fantastic effort by NESFA. I highly recommend it to anyone, but it's a must if you're a fan of Zelazny's work, as I am.
