Leon Kaminsky and 5 other people liked Jason's review of Dimension of Miracles Revisited: "This book was self-published by Sheckley and is considered very rare. Some research indicates that there were likely 50 - 100 copies printed. Mine is No. 43 so there are at least that many. I read it the minute it came in the mail in 1999 or 2000 but" Read more of this review »

Leon’s Quotes

“Знаете, однажды я вскочил внезапно среди ночи, разом проснувшись, и мне показалось, что-то происходит в мире... Мир совершенно изменился... Либо началась атомная война, либо я умираю... Оказалось, что я просто отлежал себе руку... Торопливо растёр, и всё кончилось благополучно.”
― Фридрих Горенштейн, Место
