Yup. Vance was very popular in the Netherlands for some reason, far more so than he ever was in the US. Same with A.E. van Vogt. They were well-known in the US, but here in the Netherlands they were probably the most popular SF writers of all, bigger than the Big Three.

They were my first 'real' SF writers (after the Tom Swift books and juveniles like that).
