White Crow : Rats and Gargoyles', 'the Architecture of Desire' and 'Left to His Own Devices

An omnibus edition containing Rats and Gargoyles, Architecture of Desire, two very nice short stories featuring similar characters and ideas to the first two, and a not-very-successful cyberpunk novella theoretically featuring the same characters. My reviews of Rats and Architecture are on this site under those titles - I found both gorgeous, difficult and wonderfully original. One of the short stories describes Valentine and Casaubon's first meeting, while the other is a characteristically slightly cruel story of a renegade King's Memory. I enjoyed both very much. I didn't find myself engaged by Left To His Own Devices. I recommend this attractive omnibus as an alternative to buying the two novels separately, especially since it contains the short stories as well.
