Signing sheets

I got in a package of signing sheets the other day from Pete Crowther at PS Publishing for the upcoming issue of Postscripts (that's issue 3 for those keeping track at home). I have to admit I still get a geeky, giddy feeling when I do signing sheets--it's something of an emotional validation of myself as a writer, particularly when my illegible scrawl goes down on the page beside that of such phenominally talented authors such as Lois McMaster Bujold and Gene Wolfe.

The signing sheets are available only in the hardback edition of the magazine, which is limited to 150 copies. It's very nicely done. Still, there's little drop-off in quality if you simply spring for the mass-market softcover version of the 'zine. After all, you still get this top-flight content:
  • Chaz Brenchley, 'Dragon Kings Play Songs of Love'
  • Gene Wolfe, 'Comber'
  • Jayme Lyn Blaschke, Interview with Lois M Bujold
  • Stephen Volk, 'Curious Green Colours Sleep Furiously'
  • David Herter, 'black and green and gold'
  • Jack Dann, 'Dreaming With the Angels'
  • Richard Bowes, 'Circle Dance'
  • Paul Di Filippo & Barry Malzberg, 'Beyond Mao'
  • Adam Roberts, 'And Future King'
  • Brian A. Hopkins, 'Red Nails'
  • Garry Kilworth, 'Murders in the White Garden'

So what are you waiting for? Go ahead--send some love Pete's way!
