Which I enjoyed, except for the Virginia DeMarce piece was too bitty, jumping around a large number of characters, so to understand it properly one needs to come into it with a large amount of background info at one's fingertips to track exactly who was who and where was where. It's part four, so it's OK to assume some background knowledge, but too much for me. And I've read all the Grantville books and all the Grantville Gazettes!
She really needs to be able to tell a story from one or two viewpoints, not a dozen.
