Portrait of Jack Vance. Frontispiece etching of VIE volume #44: 'Wild Thyme and Violets, Other Unpublished Works, and Addenda'

The Vance Integral Edition project, successfully concluded in 2006, gathered and restored the work of Jack Vance in a 44 volume edition.

During the years of its activity the project generated a multitude of Vance related information and resources; the mission of Foreverness is to preserve and perpetuate the project's achievements by making these resources accessible.
