Gardner Dozois’ Year’s Best Science Fiction anthologies coming as e-books
http://io9.com/5934805/all-29-editio...ing-as-e+books
So very happy about this! These anthologies (29 of them!) would provide me with a couple years of commute-friendly (or commode-friendly ) reading. EDIT: No word on pricing yet as far as I can tell with my brief searches. Last edited by djulian; 08-14-2012 at 08:46 PM. |

They're originally published by St. Martin's Press (parent company is Macmillan) so I expect them to be priced above $5.99.
The Twenth-Ninth is actually available on the US iTunes store at $9.99: http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/year...on/id494939841 Personally I prefer Rich Horton and Jonathan Strahan's anthologies. |

I presume you are talking about the old ones. I've purchased the last several as ebooks already. In fact I pre-ordered the most recent 29th and it was delivered a few weeks ago.
It would definitely be nice to have the entire series as ebooks! Some amazing stories in those! (some sh*t too. ) P.S. I also have his "Best of the Best" as ebooks already as well. I have probably half of them as pbooks, but not the first ones and am missing one here there over the years. Last edited by kennyc; 08-15-2012 at 07:09 AM. |

Just did some searching, looks like some are already available:
1st volume: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...?tag=sfsi0c-20 http://www.sfsignal.com/archives/201...ardner-dozois/ just bought volume 1 and 2 for $7.99 each at Amazon. looks like it jumps to #15 after 2 though...so missing 3-14 .. There is a listing of the contents of each volume here: http://www.squidoo.com/the-years-best-science-fiction Last edited by kennyc; 08-15-2012 at 07:29 AM. |

I've read some of those and did not actually find them to be all that wonderful. The term best is incorrectly used.

Not sure--it's this one: http://www.baenebooks.com/p-1040-the...he-year-i.aspx
And it's got a decent pack of authors contributing--Gaiman, Doctorow, Bacigalupi, etc. |
