One of our favorite artists, Bob Eggleton, has just turned in the creepy, crawly cover to Mike Resnick’s The Other Teddy Roosevelts, a collection that puts the esteemed president in some situations that are definitely outre — tracking Jack the Ripper, hunting vampires, and acting as a World War I doughboy. The book itself’s due in January, but now’s definitely a good time to get your order in.

Speaking of getting your orders in, Do Not Wait if you’re planning to snag the trade hardcover edition of The Winds of Marble Arch (Connie Willis). Due to some miscommunication with my business partner, we underprinted this book rather severely, meaning the $40 edition will either be out of print on publication, or within a week of that. At 700 pages and $40, it’s a bargain filled with sf hijinks and comedy by one of our wittiest writers.

In other news, we’ve just bought a few more books for next year’s schedule, including the screenplay to Moby Dick by Ray Bradbury, which will contain the esteemed Mr. B’s original version of the script, before any input by the director and studio. Also just signed up is Greg Egan, who will grace us with his first full length collection in roughly a decade. Hard sf doesn’t come much better than Dark Integers and Other Stories. Look for ordering info on these and other new titles soon.
