Philip K. Dick: Five novels of the 1960s & 70s by Philip K. Dick
5.0
While my two favorite PKD stories (Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep and Ubik) were in the first volume, this volume still has some great stories. Martian Time-Slip was probably my least favorite, but that may have to do with the fact that I ended up reading it in a very fragmented way. All the stories are great PKD though. In particular I especially enjoyed Dr. Bloodmoney and Flow My Tears. Overall, I'd probably recommend the first volume as an introduction to PKD and this volume to those wanting more.
In addition to the stories being excellent, the quality of the book was also very nice. The PKD works were the first collections I bought from the Library of America collection, and though I rarely shell out this much on a book these were definitely worth it. I especially enjoyed the notes that accompanied each story at the end of the book which explained certain people and events mentioned in the stories. I've read older copies of many of these stories, and the notes were definitely a useful addition. Other material, such as the timeline of PKD's life were also nice additions in this collection.
