Wow — someone’s been busy!
Most of the stories have been revised from what is currently online, and several (“Schrodinger’s Cathouse” and “Wolf Trapping” most notably) have been substantially changed. The latter his quite different even from the Apex story. I love rewriting.
This book has a lot of buzz.
And, of course, The Man who bridged the Mist is up for a Hugo this year, too…
Hoping that Small Beer does an eBook.
They generally do so… See the Weightless Books website.
