Note: This essay is headed above the work Introduction by Roger Zelazny. Essay starts: "When I was approached to write this introduction I declined. It had nothing to do with my attitude toward Phil Dick's work. It was, rather, because I felt thay I had said everything I had to say on the subject. It was then pointed out to me that I had said these things in a variety of different places." Essay ends: "It is gratifying to know that he is being acclaimed and remembered with fondness in many places. I believe it will last. I wish it had come a lot sooner." Signed: "Roger Zelazny October, 1986"
