My voluntary job change came Vol. 1 No. 4 June 1990 as a surprise at the end of April and the move across the country necessitated putting this issue on hold. I appreciate your patience and understanding. Presented by: Please note the new address given below. Hunter Goatley This issue could very well be subtitled \The Talking Issue" since it contains transcripts of several discussions with Robert R. McCammon and Contributors: others. One of the highlights of this issue is a discussion with McCammon Richard Alan Kaapke and Joe Lansdale on limited editions and signing books. Recent trends in Glen Leon the publishing industry have seen an enormous growth in the number of collectible states of books. I recently received a catalog from a press known Business Manager: for lengthy delays on their well-produced books; the catalog described an Dana Goatley \auction" of several collectible books, including some of those produced by the publisher. Featured among the items for sale were multiple states of Additional Editing by: several books (as many as ¯ve states per book) and the ¯rst three numbered Denise de la Cruz editions of several titles (numbers 1{3 of the limited editions). All at Heather Stone escalated prices, naturally. In the \good old days," there were usually two states produced of a Subscriptions book: the limited edition, which was signed, numbered, and frequently bound $12 per year (4 quarterly issues). in leather, and the trade edition. Recently, some of the small presses have added \super-limiteds" to the list; these books may be bound in leather, Send check or money order stored in a wooden box, and lettered A{ZZ. Some have taken this even payable to Hunter Goatley to: farther to produce books signed in di®erent pen colors, bound in di®erent Hunter Goatley materials, and bound in di®erent colors. Meanwhile, the completist collector Lights Out! is ¯nding it more di±cult and much more expensive to collect. P.O.

The second oldest--and most prestigious--awards in the field, they quickly were nicknamed the Hugos (officially since 1958), in honor of Hugo Gernsback (1884 -1967), founder of Amazing Stories, the first professional magazine devoted entirely to science fiction. No awards were given in 1954 at the World Science Fiction Con in San Francisco, but they were restored in 1955 at the Clevention (in Cleveland) and included six categories: novel, novelette, short story, magazine, artist, and fan magazine.

First things ¯rst: somehow I neglected to thank Cindy Ratzla® of Simon & Schuster Audio for all her help on the ¯rst two issues. Please accept Vol. 1 No. 3 January 1990 my apologies, Cindy; I'm still not sure how I missed you. Also, my apologies to Adam Rothberg for renaming him last issue. At the end of October my family and I drove to Seattle, Washington, for the Presented by: 1989 World Fantasy Convention. There isn't much to see between Utah and Hunter Goatley Washington (actually, there isn't much to see between Utah and just about anyplace), but the drive was breathtaking in some places. Descending from Contributors: an altitude of about 4,500 feet to sea-level made for some interesting scenery Robert R. McCammon changes. We were amazed as we drove down the mountains into Seattle; the Joe R. Lansdale city really is situated where the mountains meet the ocean. A report on the convention can be found on page 5, along with several photos. Business Manager: Last issue I recommended Sunglasses After Dark, by Nancy A. Collins. I had a Dana Goatley chance to meet Nancy at the WFC, where she told me about her next novel; it sounds as if it will be just as good and original as Sunglasses.
