I'm one of those that hasn't experienced Jeffrey Ford yet, so thanks for the breakdown! The collection sounds really interesting and will have to go into my wishlist

Both of his collections were great. Golden Gryphon is re-issuing his Well Built City trilogy, beginning with The Physiognomy next year.

Rob --

Nice rundown on EMPIRE. It's a phenomenal book, isn't it? Funny....I just now stumbled on your blog via William Lexner's blog and saw this rundown and what's especially coincidental are the comments above re: the WELL-BUILT CITY trilogy re-release. I'm currently taking a few minutes' break from working on the covers for that trilogy right now....back to work on it....nice to see folks looking forward to it.

John,

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I've been an admirer of your work for some time and had your cover of "Fantasy Writer's Assistant" as my PC desktop for a while!

Being a big fan of Jeff's work, I can't wait to have the WELL BUILT CITY books on my shelf next to his two collections.

Rob
