1 JUNE 2021 Here is _Ansible_ 407 , which also announces today's launch of another ebook in the free TAFF site library, compiled and with commentary by Rob Hansen (click on cover image for the downloadpage):
30 APRIL 2021 Continuing the great tradition of not publishing this thing on a Saturday or Sunday, _Ansible_ 406 is the first Friday issue in quite some time. 21 APRIL 2021 Hazel and I had our second AstraZeneca vaccinations today at the Mills Archive Trust, a familiar place within easy walking distance which Hazel the watermill fan had visited many times before. Now waiting to learn which super powers will develop. 1 APRIL 2021 Not only _Ansible_ 405 (guaranteed to contain no April Foolery) but a new ebook for free download at the TAFF site: _Creative Random Harris_ , a huge collection of fanwriting by Chuck (alias Chuch) Harris, one of the founders of TAFF. 1 MARCH 2021 What else but _Ansible_ 404 ? Because I had so much fun with _Beachcombing_ below, I've also published a trade paperback of my very fannish ebook from 2015, _Don't Try This at Home_.
10 FEBRUARY 2021 Phone call at 5:15pm calling me and Hazel to the local surgery for COVID-19 vaccinations (our first) at 6pm. AstraZeneca. Back home again bytwenty past.
1 FEBRUARY 2021 It's time for_Ansible_ 403 .
22 JANUARY 2021 Chris Priest has released an ebook of _The Magic_, his long
essay on the complex relationship between the film _The Prestige_ and the original novel. This ebook was prepared by (faint noises of trumpet-blowing) Ansible Editions . 4 JANUARY 2021 Here's _Ansible_ 402 , including announcements of yet more free ebook downloadsat the TAFF site.
21 DECEMBER 2020 The winter solstice is also the official release date for another Langford lockdown project, a new paperback collection of my own writing for fanzines and other offbeat venues, titled _Beachcombing and Other Oddments_ . Now available for mere hugesums of money!
1 DECEMBER 2020 Besides the usual festive event cancellations and merry obituaries, _Ansible_ 401 promises yet further free fannish ebooks at the TAFF site, which if all goes well will be released justbefore Christmas.
5 NOVEMBER 2020 Unobtrusively announced in the depths of _Ansible_ 400 below, Ansible Editions has released the first ebook edition of David Langford's and John Grant's definitively tasteless horror spoof _Guts_ . The blurb quotes by noted horror authors on the linked page are all genuine, the first three written specially for _Guts_ and the last appropriated without permission. 2 NOVEMBER 2020 I wish I had the time and energy to put on some kind of special show for _Ansible_ 400 , but I'm afraid it's just the usual mixture with the usual too many obituaries. 27 OCTOBER 2020 Wendy Aldiss has launched a Kickstarter fundraiser for her planned photobook _My Father's Things_. Much Brian Aldiss memorabilia on view even if you don't want to contribute. 9 OCTOBER 2020 Gosh: someone remembers and has written about one of my very early stories for theArmada Ghost Books
.
I've never quite mustered the courage to go back to those anthologies in search of material for another collection. Chris Priest eventually brought together his uncollected early work as _Ersatz Wines_ (2008), but what makes that book is the long autobiographical introduction plus the detailed "_Then_" and "_Now_" notes on each story's genesis and, with hindsight, flaws and virtues. The latter, for me, would of course require the horror of actually reading them again. "_Then:_ I think I needed the money. _Now:_ Oh God!" At present I'm working on yet another nonfiction collection, mostly of fanzine material somewhat in the vein of the long-ago _The Silence of the Langford _ (1996), but without that book's bonusshort stories.
1 OCTOBER 2020 I am trying hard not to contemplate the looming Big Round Number as we reach_Ansible_ 399 .
1 SEPTEMBER 2020 We enter the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness and _Ansible_ 398 ; as a bonus, the project to release all Bob Shaw's short fanzine writing in three ebooks is now complete with _Slow Pint Glass_:
29 AUGUST 2020 Now it can be revealed: the latest from Ansible Editions is _The Jonbar Point: Essays from SF Horizons_ , bringing together two long critical studies by Brian Aldiss that never appeared in any of his own collections. 16 AUGUST 2020 A new issue of _Cloud Chamber_ doesn't come along every week or even every blue moon, but somehow during the dog-days of lockdown I got into the mood again: here is _Cloud Chamber_ 164 . The archive of back numbers is here . 1 AUGUST 2020 Some Worldcon news in _Ansible_ 397 , and yet another John Sladek title (never before published) added to the Ansible Editions list: _Puff Love_ . 1 JULY 2020 Here is _Ansible_ 396 , and see below for the latest free ebook at the TAFF library: 81,000 words of vintage fanzine writing by Bob Shaw . 1 JUNE 2020 Still produced from home ... _Ansible_ 395 . 24 MAY 2020 A nice surprise to find this enthusiastic review by Paul Di Filippo in _Locus_ of the recent Ansible Editions book _Beyond the Outposts: Essays on SF and Fantasy 1955-1996_ by Algis Budrys.
1 MAY 2020 Although I'm confined to quarters not merely by lockdown but by the recurrence of a tiresome Langford lurgi (not coronavirus-related), the _Ansible_ show must go on! With Hazel unfortunately being lumbered with the work of taking snailmail copies – printed right here in the barn – to the post. See _Ansible_ 394 for what may be, I regret to say, our longest R.I.P. section ever. 30 APRIL 2020 This has been the week of the Great Lulu.com Disaster, beginning with that POD publishing service's quite remarkably feckless and incompetent launch of a new site design on 25 April. Wonders and marvels had been promised, but the immediate effects for Ansible Editions were that (a) all AE links to Lulu sales pages now failed with 404 errors, as did the link to the AE "Spotlight" page showing our available titles; (b) diligent use of Lulu's own search engine revealed that the very recent _Beyond the Outposts: Essays on SF and Fantasy 1955-1996_ by Algis Budrys was the only AE book available at all, at a new sales page whose URL I hadn't been told, while other titles by Budrys, Hansen, Langford and Sladek had all vanished; (c) I couldn't log in to my Lulu account to investigate the damage because they'd also cleverly trashed the password database _and_ the "Reset password" option, which remained unworkable for days. Meanwhile Lulu kept telling worried users to keep calm and wait for the data to migrate (something which in the world of grown-up programming should be completed and followed by careful testing _before_ inflicting the new version on your hapless users). When things seemed to have settled down, eight of the eleven Ansible Editions books were back to normal though with new sales page URLs; two had lost their covers, which could not be recreated using the Lulu "cover design wizard" as before since this feature had been deliberately removed (gosh, thanks Lulu!) and I had to spend hours fiddling with GIMP; one had vanished altogether. I'm still repairing miscellaneous damage and waiting for the substantial – by AE's modest standards – earnings from early sales of _Beyond the Outposts_ to appear in place of the site's current reassurance that no Ansible Editions title has ever sold any copies at all. Just as in traditional publishing, the slowest "migration" by a long chalk is that of money to the creator. • _Update, 2 May:_ thanks presumably to _Ansible_ 394, a few book sales dated 1 May are now reported at Lulu. Not, however, any sales from April. I remembered several and have confirmed the number from a 17 April Lulu "custom report" that I didn't bother to save specially (because one could always get the latest version from the Lulu site, ha ha ha) but was happily preserved in temporary storage. 1 APRIL 2020 No fooling at all in _Ansible_ 393 , which includes a depressing list of mostly postponed, cancelled or likely to be cancelled genre events – with a few virtual gatherings by way of compensation. • The promised Algis Budrys essay collection from Ansible Editions is now available: official page here with link to contents. If you'd like to buy the paperback edition, the coupon code LULU20 gives 20% off at the Lulu.com purchase page and is valid until 2 April. 2 MARCH 2020 And now _Ansible_ 392 . There is a big Algis Budrys essay collection in the pipeline from Ansible Editions:contents here .
3 FEBRUARY 2020 What but_Ansible_ 391 ?
1 FEBRUARY 2020 Yet another free ebook edited by Rob Hansen, this one very large and long in the making. _Homefront: Fandom in the UK 1939-1945_ brings together a great many first-hand accounts showing how UK fandom maintained its lines of communication during World War Two despite everything that Hitler and the British armed services could throw at them. 2 JANUARY 2020 The last and worst symptom of the New Year hangover is _Ansible_ 390.
