A couple of books have been delivered through the slot in my front door over the last few days; I previously mentioned one of these, Conceptual Breakthrough (James Holden and Simon King's marvellous experiment in sf-criticism, to which I contributed an afterword), [1] a couple of months ago; very nice finally to hold a copy in my hand, and very handsome it looks too. The other is the Czech translation of The Soddit. I don't always post about foreign editions of my books, but the cover to this is so elegant and splendid that I wanted to reproduce it here.

Other news: I'll be appearing at the [2] Paris Book Fair, hanging around the booth of the formidable [3] Bragelonne, 15th-16th March, an eventuality occasioned by the imminent appearance of the French translation of Gradisil. I'll also poke my nose in at Orbital Eastercon, just on the Saturday. I may even be on some panels.
