>Anyway, how's this sale going?
As of today, we've mailed off roughly 1300 back issues of Black Gate since the sale began.
OK, that's a little misleading. We overprinted BG11 by over 800 issues to send to the World Fantasy Convention next weekend, and they went out on Thursday. Still, we've sold several hundred back issues, which is quite surprising.
A few enterprising souls have asked for 3-year subscriptions starting with #1, which not only gets them all 11 back issues with free shipping for $78.50, but also gets them issue 12. That's bending the rules on the sale a bit, but we'll honor it while stocks hold out.
We haven't sold out of any issues yet, but we're getting close with issues 3 and 7, and stocks of several others are depleted.
If you're interested in getting any of the earlier issues, you should probably act fast. Details of the sale are at www.blackgate.com.

I got my box of back issue goodness today! Holy mother mary joseph almighty father amen!
These are some stunning, absolutely stunning, pieces of art! I was a kid in a candy store, holding these up, hugging them, smiling big, giggling, devouring their beauty and stature with eyes that never knew they were starved prior to laying sight upon such bounty!
Hands down, simply the BEST spec fic mag I've ever seen let alone touched. Now, assuming the contents are as good as everyone's been saying for years, there ain't nobody who calls himself a fan of spec fic that can't afford to subscribe to your find magazine. If the words inside match the pre-purchase praise and the gorgeous exteriors (especially of Vol 1 Iss 1 & Vol 1, Iss 5), Christmas is gonna last as long as it takes me to read all of these!
(and, yeah, I said 'Christmas' Nathan and Steve  )

| Posted 6/8/2008 2:33 AM (GMT -4) | | Thanks Jason!
Sorry I couldn't attend Printer's Row. My wife was talking about it today. But I just got back from a long business trip in Orlando, and I have a ton of e-mail to catch up on (not to mention I need to spend a little time with the kids). :)
Be sure to let us know what you think of the issues!
Did you see the review of THE RETURN OF THE SWORD at the BG website last week?

| Posted 6/8/2008 8:59 PM (GMT -4) | | Yes, and my thanks, John! Ryan did a fine job of it - I was glad to claim him as a friend in Facebook and LibraryThing after that! 
Emails, blech!  They are a bane and a pain sometimes. I'm so tired of sitting in this chair, I've had the hardest time getting things done this week. Printer's Row was pretty much just a giant book sale, though I would think it might be fun to sit a FSP/BG booth together, eh?
Are you available next Saturday, 6/14, for Authorfest in Schaumburg, IL?
