Oh well, guess I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed it comes out in paperback one way or another. If I was a working type then I wouldn't hesitate to buy the hardback, but as I'm just a lazy student type I'm afraid my budget just won't stretch :) But at least I can look forward to the paperback of singularity sky which comes out in June I believe.

I e-mailed Paul Fraser a couple of months back and he said it was very unlikely that there would be any more Spectrum in the near future, essentially because he lost quite a lot of money on issue, and this amount of money increased with every issue.

But he did say that he did have some material for later issues so it might be possible there will be some Spectrum in the not too distant future, but in the light of Charlie's info on him going to California that seems increasingly unlikely.
