Clarifications and Requests

Caution: Contains Candid, Nekkid Shots of the Sordid Underside of Publishing. Not for the faint of heart.

Several folks have asked after the best venue for buying Lee and Miller books in These Uncertain Times(tm).

As we are ...unlikely... to ever see royalties from bookstore sales of Meisha Merlin books, and since we have this Big Pile of Books in the basement, we'd ask that folks please consider buying from us first. If you want the money from your purchase to support and encourage the authors, this is the Numero Uno Very Best Way to be sure this happens.

Next best venues are the independent bookstores*. While money spent there will, as above, likely not trickle down to the authors, you will be benefiting and supporting the store -- which is A Good Thing.

Note: The above is relevant to Meisha Merlin editions ONLY. By all means feel free to purchase electronic copies via Baen Webscriptions and mass market editions from Ace.

*Independent Bookstores we know and love:

Uncle Hugo's
University Bookstore
Pandemonium Books
Missing Volume
Borderlands
Dream Haven
Flights of Fantasy
All of the above folks do mail order and take want lists

I take it this is in reference to the 'bad thing' of previous note? All sympathies flowing toward you. Damn.

In fact, this would be very intimately attached to the Bad Thing.

All sympathies flowing toward you.

Thanks, Di.

That is a very bad bad thing indeed. Sympathies. That really sucks.
