Once More* With Footnotes

By Terry Pratchett (published by NESFA Press). Rare first printing copy now being auctioned here. The starting bid is quite low; no idea how high it’ll go, I imagine it’ll depend on who hears about the auction.

I know the seller and the people the auction is intended to benefit, and can recommend participation to anybody who cares about my opinions.

“Where I Write” Book Project

Just heard today about a project that I hope will become a book of photos of SF/fantasy authors’ workspaces by my online friend Kyle Cassidy of Armed America fame. And here’s another post on it by Michael Swanwick.

The preliminary examples look really good to me.

(Click through the photo for Kyle’s site about the book, with more samples.)

I am amused to see that Kyle says this was partly inspired by this by Jeff and Geri.

Some examples will be appearing in the Anticipation sourvenir book.

Minn-StF Calendar

I’m maintaining a Minn-StF Calendar on Google. I just updated it with events from the February Einblatt!

In general, it contains Minn-StF sponsored events, readings at local bookstores that made the Einblatt!, and conventions that made the Einblatt! Errors are probably mine, although of course I might manage to faithfully copy through an error that I didn’t originate, possibly.

I’m not tempted to try to turn this into a “union of all local events” calendar; it seems more useful for each group to publish their own, and people can then use whatever combination fits their interests, without too much duplication.
