[edit] "What of Earth" and reputation
Not sure why the "What of Earth" section takes up so much of the article -- from what appears, it seems to have been a nasty but somewhat minor publishing squabble resolved 30 years ago. Also, there should be something on his general reputation -- some of of his early works such as Macroscope and Rings of Ice etc. are fairly well-respected, but a very significant number of people among hard-core science fiction fandom regard him as having cashed in on somewhat puerile cookie-cutter works of little ultimate value (such as most of the Xanth, and Apprentice Adept books, etc.) -- it was a regular topic of discussion on Usenet's "rec.arts.sf.written" whenever Anthony's name came up, etc...
