You're a sharp-eyed so-and-so. I had left a half finished sentence/gibberish at the bottom.

Anyway, assuming the last part of Cugel's saga is as good as the rest, I think it would merit a strong 4/5 dinos.

I've read five of the stories in Vance's first Dying Earth book. After a slow start, I'm impressed. He has a good eye for a visually arresting images and spectacles the wizard imprisoned in a small box with a chasing dragon, the human/demon orgy culminating in the summoning of an ancient goddess, the awoken ruler's wrath on his ignorant city and each story is dense with points of interest.

The prevailing mood of ever-present danger, beautiful decay, and mystery makes for a very pleasant read indeed.
