Honour Your Inner Magpie

"Glass Bead Games" chapbook: anyone can pre-order now
OK, you've been hearing me burble about this chapbook/anthology thing for a while now, and it's at the printer right now, so it's going to be real. I gave some pre-order opportunities to folks coming to Fourth Street already. Some of you felt left out, and someone pointed out quite sensibly that pre-registration for Fourth Street was now closed. So....

Starting now, I'll be taking general pre-orders from anybody, not just folks coming to the Fourth Street Fantasy Convention.

(Important note on timing and shipping: Please be advised that you'll get your books in late July; timing's a little interesting on things. Also, there will be a shipping charge, whether we mail them or carry them to Worldcon for you, and it'll be the same charge either way. I'll have to check and see what it will be, but I wanted to put this post up now, since people are asking. We'll send you an e-mail invoice if you tell us where you want the book shipped.)

If I have any left, I will also have them at my dealers' table at Worldcon.

If you'd like to pre-order a copy now, the price is $25 plus shipping -- I'm sorry it's so high, but it's got cool stuff in it, including eight photographs of jewelry related to the writing in the book. Shipping charges, as I said, have yet to be calculated, but will be based on where you are, so please tell me that in the e-mail to the gimme address. Thanks!

On to the goodies!
