I wonder if David Pringle, TTA or someone else has them digitally? I suspect there'd be some interest in buying old editions that way. Otherwise I wonder if a scanning effort could/should be organised for historical preservation purposes.Jon Dowlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788647521207177396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143440998478479157.post-31403317721187195962013-02-14T08:30:38.984-08:002013-02-14T08:30:38.984-08:00Ohhh, the joys of eBay.

I'm "behind" on my reading, though. In fact I have a complete run of IZs from the very first issue.<br /><br />Here's a complete list of my stories, from Greg Egan's IZ index - still online at TTA Press, if you dig around.<br /><br />Reynolds, Alastair: Nunivak Snowflakes #36, Jun 90<br />— Dilation Sleep #39, Sep 90<br />— Enola #54, Dec 91<br />— Byrd Land Six #96, Jun 95<br />— Spirey and the Queen #108, Jun 96<br />— A Spy in Europa #120, Jun 97<br />— On the Oodnadatta #128, Feb 98<br />— Stroboscopic #134, Aug 98<br />— Galactic North #145, Jul 99<br />— Hideaway #157, Jul 00<br />— Everlasting #193, Spring 04<br />— The Sledge-Maker's Daughter #209, Apr 07<br /><br />David - lovely of you to comment, and glad the letters were appreciated. I'm sure I have the others somewhere else, although of course by the mid 90s we tended to communicate more by email than letter. And, of course, thanks for taking a chance on a young writer back in 1989...<br /><br />Al Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01517967406876572177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143440998478479157.post-63612005299771926182013-01-08T13:31:46.163-08:002013-01-08T13:31:46.163-08:00Thanks, Al, for posting those.

Something alot of non-authors don't get to see, and gives some fascinating insight to not only their minds, but also the trepidation you must have been feeling when submitting those two stories. Glad you shared!<br /><br />JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00426548735571138247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143440998478479157.post-49564343203947797252013-01-08T06:06:20.293-08:002013-01-08T06:06:20.293-08:00Interesting to see some of the details of becoming...Interesting to see some of the details of becoming a successful writer.
