Re: Updates on Through the Valley of the Nest of Spiders?

That's bad news, but did they truly go "out of business" completely? Their online store seems to survive, and this article states that they've switched to e-book publishing only. I've often laughed when people claimed that physical books will one day no longer be published, but now the insanity is beginning, and hitting close to home. I'm no longer laughing. I don't want to read Delany's books on a screen, and it's a great relief that he's looking for a new publisher.

A number of books Alyson was planning to bring out from October, 2010, on are now without a publisher--including Delany's THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE NEST OF SPIDERS. Delany and his agent have started all over to look for a new publisher. In the next month or two, there may be some news on this front.
