...at least in MY postal box. I picked up my first hardcover copies and it looks good. It officially goes on sale October 2nd, but I'll bet bookstores will have it early.

I'm also hoping that Capclave will have YBFH 2007 and The Coyote Road in the dealer's room. (and maybe even Subterranean #7).

Hurrah! Been looking forward to YBFH 2007. US YBFH fans wonder why YBSF gets published first--the one month gap seems long and it's often tempting that our prayers to the bookstore gods don't get answered.

It's because we're slower putting it together--more people involved, and more organization. The whole bundle goes through Jim Frenkel, our hard-working packager.

Thanks! Do let them know I appreciate all their efforts (for all its worth coming from one fan). Anywhere I can write them an email of thanks?

Excellent. I have been told that I need to page through the honorable mentions section ;)

I saw this entry and wanted to nod hello and thank you for your work with the YBFH collections.

I think I first picked up one because it had a story by Neil Gaiman in it. And thanks to those collections, I was introduced to people who are now some of my favorite writers: Steven Millhauser, Jonathan Carroll, Delia Sherman (I just adored "The Printer's Daughter"), Kelly Link.

I'm an aspiring writer myself, and one who occasionally writes in both those genres. YBFH went a long way toward educating me, and, maybe better, toward entertaining me and occasionally leaving me in awe.

Thank you. No matter how much I whinge about how I'm tired of reading all this stuff and woe is me and I'm burned out (no one who only knows me through this blog will have yet experienced that side of me ;-) )--most of the time I love co-editing the YBFH for the very reasons you mention.

I guess in a weird way I'm an evangelist for the kinds of stories I love and for the writers who write them. I want others to discover the same joy I experience at reading a story that makes a great impression on me.

I picked up Coyote Road at a bookstore last week. (The Wild Rumpus, in Minneapolis; have you been there? The store is populated by ferrets and lizards and rats, with cats and chickens wandering through the aisles!) Anyway, it's a gorgeous book and I'm really happy about that author lineup.

And YBFH is still my favorite of all the "year's best" anthologies. I can definitely appreciate the burn-out factor, but you're doing great work.

Never been there, but with all those animals, it sounds as if I must check it out, next time I'm in town. I hope you enjoy The Coyote Road...

And thanks so much re: YBFH!

Yay! Got it on order so hopefully it'll drop in my mailbox soon. Amazon tells me a publication date of Oct, 2 and a ship date of Oct. 4.

I expect to have copies of Subterranean #7, and Larry Smith has been emailed about YBFH, so as long as it really is available early Oct, he should have copies at Capclave.
