Ian Watson: The Great Escape - a recent collection of his stories (2002.) This marks the first appearance in a Watson collection for any of these. I was impressed with his first 2 collections more than 2 decades ago, and I suspect he's still just as good. Only 3000 copies of this first hardcover edition were printed.
