The TOC looks GREAT!
But, it is a terrible shame they are abandoning the mass market paperback format!!!
I noticed the change of publisher, publication date and format. And Hartwell seems to have shed the “G”.
I’m also surprised to see no mention of Kathryn Cramer as co-editor. There was nothing on her blog as of yesterday, and she always used to post the TOC.
A whole new phase of the series, then. Hope it works.
Agreed. I’m quite fond of this series.
