Are you boycotting the stores, or the magazines? Won't they order them for you, if you ask?

Ha, well, I'm not really boycotting those magazines, just saying that I might as well be boycotting them as they're not available to me.

If the stores don't stock them, I don't buy them. I would be very reluctant to ask the store to stock the magazine just for my sake because I am a very unreliable customer - they could get them in for me perhaps, but I can't guarantee having the money to buy them.

Re: Solaris Rising: Ian McDonald, Alastair Reynolds, Peter F Hamilton
This looks great Ian. Did you say that these are all new stories not published elsewhere?

I am certainly very interested indeed.

Brilliant, I think I'll be ordering this one when it comes out. I'm definitely in the mood to read another anthology of contemporary SF.

I can't wait for this...I'm pre-ordering a copy now.

A really striking cover by the way.

Re: Solaris Rising: Ian McDonald, Alastair Reynolds, Peter F Hamilton
After months of impatiently pacing its cage, this powerful and challenging volume of high-quality SF has finally been unleashed on an unsuspecting British public (the book is already out in the States).

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Solaris-Risi...0221329&sr=1-1

...and it has already garnered its first review, in Locus no less:

Sorry to hear that, FE. No idea why this should be -- I'll see if the publishers can shed any light.

Hopefully, the book will prove worth waiting for.

Re: Solaris Rising: Ian McDonald, Alastair Reynolds, Peter F Hamilton
My copy arrived today, not as late as I feared it might be, thanks to Ian getting his people to crack some heads at Amazon!

I plan to start reading this shortly...
