that their books will no longer bereprinted in mass market paperback–thebooks will be published in hardcover, e-books, and then perhaps be reprinted intrade paperback, but will never bereprinted as mass market paperbacks. Afew months ago I was hearing that thepublishers were very concerned abouthelping the brick-and-mortar storessurvive as “show rooms” for their books,but it now looks like many of thepublishers have decided to instead try topush readers into buying e-books insteadof printed books. After all, the profitmargins for the publishers is muchhigher from e-books than from printedbooks, the channels of distribution aremuch simpler (a few giant corporationsinstead of thousands of independentbookstores), there’s no problem withwarehousing printed books, and no needto remainder books that were printed innumbers far exceeding demand.All of the major publishersoffer the signed copies of their books atthe same price as the unsigned copies ofthe same book unless they do somethingto make the signed copy more specialthan just being signed (like a slipcase oran extra short story). One publisher isplanning to try next summer to charge anextra $8.00 for signed copies of severalbooks that are the same as the regularcopies except for the signatures. I’vespent a lot of time trying to convincethem that this is a very BAD idea thatwill result in drastically reduced salesand lots of anger towards the publisher.Of course, some readers would also getangry with the bookstores and with theauthors over this, when we have nocontrol over such pricing decisions, andthe authors didn’t even know about thepricing plan for their signed books.Once again we had lots morenew titles than we had space for in thepaper newsletter. We had to cut abouthalf the listings.

leaving the Phoenicians in control of theseas and a weaker Roman Empire onland. About 1000 years before the storybegins (in the 1800's, dated fromAugustus coming to power in Rome), theRoman Empire pretty much collapsed,but not before having a heavy impact onthe cultures of western Europe. About400 years before the story begins, thePersians conquered Northern Africa,causing many of the Phoenicians to fleeto Europe and form alliances with theCeltic princes. About 100 years later, anoutbreak of ghouls south of the Saharadestroyed the west African empire ofMali, with many of the Mali elite hiringPhoenician ships to take them, theirgold, and their magic to Europe, wherethey marry into the families of the Celticprinces. Some of the Mali hiredPhoenicians to take them to SouthAmerica and eventually to NorthAmerica, where they met the “trolls”,intelligent descendants of the dinosaurswho are slightly more technologicallyadvanced than the humans and veryinterested in trade with the humans (or“rats” as they like to call the humans).And then there is the new Ice Age, whichhas lowered the sea level enough toconnect England to France. And thecold mages are the most powerful ofseveral different kinds of magic users.Throw in people (and others) passingback and forth between our world andthe spirit world, plus the Wild Hunt, plustoo many other things to mention, andyou have a very interesting backgroundfor the story.Catherine (“Cat”) is an orphanapproaching her 20th birthday, livingwith a Phoenician family of modestmeans that she believes to be her auntand uncle and various cousins, includingBeatrice, who is a couple of monthsyounger and her best friend. When Catis suddenly forced against her will tomarry a cold mage, she starts to learnthat much of what she thought she knewis wrong.

#33, but it’s actually around the 40th ifyou include the young adult ones, and itis very good. Sam Vimes, thecommander of the Ankh-Morpork CityWatch, is forced by his wife and LordVetinari to take a vacation in thecountry. He starts out very unhappyabout being on vacation, but he findscrime (including murder) in the countryand is soon happily back at work chasingdown criminals while on vacation,uttering pithy remarks about law, order,chaos, how coppers should behave, andhis opinions of various items of food ashe goes along.But what does “happy as a catfull of sixpences” really mean?After Connie Willis won boththe Nebula and the Hugo Awards forbest novel of the year, I picked up one ofher older novels, Passage ($7.99, 2001).It is correctly labeled “Fiction” ratherthan “Science Fiction”. At a Coloradohospital there are 3 people researchingnear-death experiences. MauriceMandrake is a best-selling author whodoesn’t care about science, and tries toget patients to tell him what he wants tohear for his next best-selling book onnear-death experiences. Almosteverybody in the hospital detests him,but he donated so much money from hisprevious best-seller that he can get awaywith almost anything. Dr. JoannaLander is a psychologist doing seriousscientific research into near-deathexperiences, and Dr. Richard Wright isa neurologist who has just begun a studytrying to duplicate near-deathexperiences using psychoactive drugs.Joanna starts helping Richard with hisresearch project, and eventually allowsherself to be a research subject in hisstudy because of problems with his otherresearch subjects. The book is full ofinteresting characters (especially Maisie,a very bright young girl with a seriousheart condition and a mother in completedenial about how serious Maisie’scondition really is) and interesting sidestories.The pacing is slower than mostof the books I normally read because ofall the subplots, but it was well worthreading.Mystery Reviewsby Gerri BalterThe Damage Done by HilaryChandler, A.
