---The Zebrowski and Ford are GG titles #45 and #44 respectively, if you are keeping track (or collecting). Of course, they look to be excellent reading--as do all Golden Gryphon titles. There were also some copies of Bisson’s NUMBERS DON’T LIE from Tachyon in my invoice, but not in the box. I don’t think I ever even got the regular published edition of that--just the special preview edition. Guess I still don’t have it now. Well, maybe next time, I guess.
