Been ordering some stuff in the last couple of days (and kicking myself for spending money). First, I ordered the new issue of
Electric Velocipede, because all the blogs I read were mentioning it, it had a pretty cool cover, and it only cost about £4 (international price, $8; US price is $4).
I was a little upset when I realised that the issue is smaller than they usually are, and the next one will have a lot of stuff in it that I'd want to read, but it's my own fault for not looking around the site more.
Then, today I read in one or two places that small publisher
Wheatland Press have a
special offer - buy a book, get a copy of their journal, Polyphony, free. I decided to look around their catalogue, see what it was like, and I ended up ordering the collection American Sorrows by Jay Lake, because he's yet another of the authors I've been meaning to read sometime.
I'm going to try not to make a habit of ordering stuff like this - because of the exchange rate, it'd be too easy to convince myself that I'm not spending much. ($24?? Oh, it's only £13, that's alright...)
