I've been pestering our poor acquisitions department to order for the Eaton Collection of Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror and Utopian Literature, at UC Riverside (California) for quite a while now, and darn it, they told me they couldn't get it! Now I understand why...looking forward to hearing about it's being "found" by another publisher. Worthy efforts should not be punished. Sincerely Yours, Julia D. Ree Dear Jonathan,

I was really looking forward to reading them; but you and the authors involved must be feeling far more despondent. I hope you find a venue for a "year's best" series by next year, in any event.

Sympathy to all those affected. I hope the existence of preorders may help a little with finding a new publisher.
