My wife is recovering from a hysterectomy, so cash flow will be disrupted until she's able to go back to work. Once that happens I'll be catching up on my purchases. _Anthopology 101_ was already on the list, and _The Joy of Booking_ is now.Adventuresfantastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16907562789681407416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4593182832464558023.post-37315003376954711452011-05-19T13:51:23.781-05:002011-05-19T13:51:23.781-05:00Merry Blacksmith will be publishing another non-fi...Merry Blacksmith will be publishing another non-fiction title of mine this summer, but if anything it's even more of a niche subject than the Antho book. _The Joy of Booking_ is an expanded and updated edition of an earlier booklet I wrote seven years ago on the subject of selling used sf books as a hobby, at conventione and online. Within the next few years, we'll also be publishing a revised and expanded edition of _41 Above the Rest_, my bio-bibliography of anthologist Groff Conklin, and a collection of the Past Masters columns. Oh, yeah, a short-story colection is in the works, too, so I'll be coming at you from all sides.Bud Websternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4593182832464558023.post-76434569037506926642011-05-19T06:50:33.208-05:002011-05-19T06:50:33.208-05:00His latest, Anthopology 101, is available from the...His latest, Anthopology 101, is available from the publisher, Merry Blacksmith Press at http://www.merryblacksmith.com/bookpages/anthopology.html and also from Amazon.com.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4593182832464558023.post-86716722958971679452011-05-18T13:38:25.161-05:002011-05-18T13:38:25.161-05:00You're welcome, Paul.

He's got a couple of book collections of his columns from various places out there, and I'm hoping to see more of those.

The reality is that although I write the articles I write because, like all geeks, I'm driven to share my geekery regardless of whether my audience is equally geekful, what I really want is considered and thoughtful feedback. It don't happen much at all.<br /><br />Those of us who do this in public, in front of Cthulhu and everybody, rarely hear anything back from our readers; it's not so much that that they don't appreciate what we do, they just don't express it where we can actually, y'know, hear it.<br /><br />I'm delighted that you've enjoyed the PM columns I've written, and even happier that the subject for my first BLACK GATE column was one that resonated with you. That you say so publicly makes it even better - I can send all my friends and family members the link so they'll know I'm not making it all up this time. Thanks for the opportunity to brag my substantial butt off.<br /><br />Next up for "Who?!" will be Chan Davis, author of "It Walks in Beauty" and "Adrift on the Policy Level."Bud Websternoreply@blogger.com
