John, Thanks for the linkage to the Urban Fantasy and the Next Big Subgenre post at Grasping for the Wind. I had a blast participating and am in awe of the thoughtful answers everyone gave.

Hi John,
just to clarify, the link you have identified as " A cover gallery tribute to A. Bertram Chandler." are actually the first issues of more than 200 SF periodicals. since it's unlikely that ANY of these issues have a Chandler story in them, readers may be confused. Nonetheless, a REALLY nice gallery put together by collector and Chandler fan, Steve Davidson, also known in SFnal circles as Crotchety Old Fan. http://crotchetyoldfan.wordpress.com/
cheers! Lex
