Good work tracking these down! You can see at once why Wolfe so highly valued Lafferty's approval, and yet also why so few publishers might have sought him out for blurbs...

Q: What do you look for in books?

RAL: I read books to hear what people are up to. This is the only approved and organized form of eavesdropping. I listen for whatever interests me. If I don't find it, I put the book away and go to another book. Eavesdropping is about as close as we can get to the quintessence of people. They fumble it when you encounter them directly, but they reveal a lot when you hear them in this or any other way. People, that is what I read for; to get the marrow out of their bones and to enjoy it.
