Way back when I attended a party at WorldCon in San Jose. It was to launch the first volume in an ambitious but untested new anthology series from a new publisher. The publisher was Wheatland Press and the series was Deborah Layne and Jay Lake’s extremely well-received and all round kinda wonderful Polyphony. The party was good but the book was better, and Deborah and Jay have gone on to edit a series that does what ever series should: get better with each volume.

While we’re all currently waiting for Polyphony 6 (yes, six!) to appear, Deb has decided to make it even easier for people to pick up a copy of Polyphony and see what all of the fuss is about. If you pop over to the Wheatland Press website and order any title before 30 June, you’ll get a Polyphony of your choice free!

Now, this is an exceptionally good offer, given that you can choose between great books like All Star Zeppelin Stories, Steve Utley’s The Beasts of Love, Howard Waldrop’s Dream Factories and Radio Pictures, or Jay Lakes’s Greetings from Lake Wu. There is a veritable feast of coolness to choose from. How could you resist? Why would you resist? Go buy a book: buy one for a friend and get one for yourself for nothing! You get to look good by giving someone a present and still score a book for yourself. It doesn’t get much better than that.
