Buy my book
Posted by Patrick at 05:48 AM * 12 comments

Just FYI, the North American hardcover and ebook editions of my and David Hartwell’s massive anthology Twenty-First Century Science Fiction went on sale yesterday. (The UK edition, from Constable & Robinson, will be published on November 21.) To quote the starred Kirkus review: “Grab this book. Whether newcomer or old hand, the reader will not be disappointed.”

Also available as of yesterday: Some of the Best from Tor.com, 2013 edition, Tor.com’s third annual free-as-in-free-beer e-book presenting a selection of the stories published on our site during the previous year.

Well, I did just get my graduate stipend for the month... just need to decide if I want the ebook or the hardcover.

Bought. Well, I put it in my amazon.co.uk shopping trolley and then pushed it down the aisle very fast and let go.

Apparently it will reach the checkout in a couple of weeks.

My parents asked me what I wanted for Christmas. So I said an e-reader. This will enable me to get hold of a copy, but it won't be just yet.

(I don't buy hardbacks for reasons of space; this house is already bursting with books.)

I appear to have ordered it already. According to the Great South American River it should be in my hot little hands next week.

Woot! I plan to pick it up when I'm at Powell's next week to hear Scott Lynch. I sold a bunch of books to make room for a whiteboard ("The Big Wall of Plot") in my office after Viable Paradise and have a lovely Powell's gift card to spend.
