A unique and fine grouping of one of Clarke's later interviews. From Zebrowski's provenance letter, dated February 28, 2001: ?This file contains all the original materials gathered for an interview with Sir Arthur C. Clarke, which was scheduled for the January 2001 issue of Amazing Stories; but with the cancellation of that magazine by Wizards of the Coast, Inc. the interview was withdrawn and all rights reverted? This interview may yet appear in another magazine, and all rights are reserved by George Zebrowski and Arthur C. Clake." This interview later appeared in print in Zebrowski's book, Talks with the Masters (Wildside Press, 2018), along with interviews of Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, and James Gunn.
