Nice to finally see this in print. I'm friends with one of the editors (Montreal friend of a friend thing) and I was there when he got the news that the anthology was going to get funding at a science fiction convention way back in 2018. Then the publishing company went through some "weird"...

Nice article. You missed a chance to point out that "Ishmael" is packed with "cameos" by characters from nearly every science-fiction and western TV show that was on the air from the 1960's to 80's. The wikipedia article on the book has a whole section on it.

This was the first AH novel I had ever bought. Was impressed by it.

Nice article. Only one tiny nitpick: Actually Nimoy was American, a proud Boston boy.

Who wrote that quote?

Yeah, for some strange reason, there appears to be two separate links for the ebook and paperbook. Maybe @Lord Roem knows why?

Only way I can see that happening is if New York or Boston got burned down or something and was never rebuilt. The impression I've always had of DC was that it was always a government town first and that's coloured its impact onwards. Yeah, as an ex-Montrealer, Ottawa was always considered...

Man, how could I have forgotten about that one - I was at the Montreal premier of that film. Still have the t-shirt somewhere, I think. It was doubly hilarious for me because the friend I went to see it with was actually working on a (very primitive) prototype of that SQUID.

Neat website. Links to various aboriginal and international constitution info. 'Best Sites' directory is quite extensive. Figured someone here can find this useful. http://web5.uottawa.ca/www5/jmagnet/
