Graham Marks commented to Something about the Author: "This is the first time I've seen everything I've ever written listed in one place, the first time I've looked at the 35-year journey from Seeing Is Touching to Zoo (Now, why couldn't that first book's title have begun with an 'A'?). I've enjoyed the trip, as I hope will anyone who dips in and reads what happens along the way."
