Fantastic offer

Jake von Slatt makes this sensational offer public:

Publishing house Tachyon Publications and editors Ann and Jeff VanderMeer have agreed to make their new fiction anthology, Steampunk, available for pre-order at a discounted price! This volume, priced at $14.95, is being offered at $12.00, including free shipping within the United States. Shipping outside the United States will be by Global Priority Mail: $9.50 to Canada and $11.00 to our friends in Europe.

In addition, books ordered through this offer will arrive signed by the editors. Signed and personalized…they will even draw little zeppelins!

And yet, even little zeppelins may not be enough to entice you. This is understandable. Therefore, I am quite pleased to announce that the first 10 people who order this anthology via this offer shall also receive a signed copy of author Jay Lake's Mainspring, heralded as "an instant steampunk classic" by Cory Doctorow of Boing Boing. In addition, the first three people will also get a copy of Lake's follow-up novel Escapement when it is released in June!

Lansdale, Mary Gentle, Ted Chiang, Michael Moorcock, Jay Lake, Molly Brown, Stepan Chapman, Ian R. MacLeod, Rachel Pollack, and Paul Di Filippo and original essays by Bill Baker (on steampunk in comics) and Jess Nevins (19th century origins of steampunk!), I contributed "The Steam-Driven Time Machine," a survey of steampunk in popular culture.
