No publisher listed (but probably Amazon KDP), 2025. Print-On-Demand &#8220;first edition&#8221; (printing date of &#8220;03 July 2025&#8221;), a Fine copy. &#8220;This bibliography, as unconventional and idiosyncratic as Bloch himself, documents the entire oeuvre of his varied and diverse career, sprinkled throughout with Bloch&#8217;s own remembrances regarding many of his works.&#8221; Alas, one &#8220;unconventional&#8221; touch is the omitting of standard bibliographic information like first edition points (there is no mention of how to tell apart <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isfdb.org\/cgi-bin\/pl.cgi?291273\">the two printings of <b>Sea Kissed<\/b><\/a>, for example), or things like page counts, prices, etc. Still, there&#8217;s a good bit of useful information in here, and the Larson essays look interesting.
