FREE BOOKS for blogging

The publicist at Del Rey has agreed to send out five copies of The Del Rey Book of Science Fiction and Fantasy for me--so...speak up now! If you're a reviewer for a regular venue you should be receiving a copy anyway--and if not, you should contact Del Rey for a review copy.

For this, the sooner you blog it the better as the pub date is in a couple of weeks!

And by now you should know the drill.
If you're a winner, email me your mailing address at my datlow at yahoo dot com account.

Outside the US will be difficult but I'll probably open this to foreigners when I get my own copies (and then you'll have to pay postage).

Library Journal review of The Del Rey Book of Science Fiction and Fantasy

The Del Rey Book of Science Fiction and Fantasy. Del Rey: Ballantine. Apr. 2008. c.416p. ed. by Ellen Datlow. ISBN 978-0-345-49632-4. pap. $16. SF

From Jason Stoddard's unusual alternate history featuring elephants and a search for uranium in the land of the Diné ("The Elephant Ironclads") to Margo Lanagan's wicked version of Hansel and Gretel ("The Goosle"), the 16 original tales in this collection highlight some of the best work from genre veterans and newcomers. Including contributions by Elizabeth Bear, Lavie Tidbar, Barry Malzberg, and Pat Cadigan, this eclectic mixture of new sf and fantasy belongs in most libraries.
