Apparently they might be able to set me up with a new Dec 2005 code after I botched it while buying yesterday. I've just gone and bought a Fairwood Press bundle from them in thanks.
Also, Sheffield is generally supposed to be pretty good if you do like hard sci-fi (apparently he also wrote some softer, more social sci-fi as well; I've only read a few of his works). He was an actual physicist while he was still alive, and married to Nancy Kress, who's a Hugo/Nebula Winner. It's actually because I liked her stories so much that I started looking into his work.

Well, could not combine micropay w/ CC for one purchase, so grabbed a Night Shade title I was missing. I'll grab Sheffield, too, most likely.
pm me if the Dec 2005 bundle is active (I put all the 'completed' threads on ignore, so i could keep track).
Bundles will continue, but there is a lot of confusion about what tonie posted - look like you are buying three chunks of HTML, no finished editions and have to stitch them together (and only last third will be final proofed/edited). Both are deal-breakers for me - I never read the html early portions and ignore all bundles until complete and download the finished books. I don't pay for eArcs (even though I know some who do .. even one in this house, no matter how many times I tell him to get the bundle, instead).
