So folks, who has been able to lay their hands on a copy and what do you think?  This is our first jaunt into the extraterrestrial with IHMN and we would appreciate your opinions...

Same here last weekend. Still had the previous copy on the shelf. Pre-ordered in from the website instead, so we'll see what the postie brings.

As a footnote I'm looking to go all Space 1889 with IHMN, so am very interested in reading the first big steps for IHMN  ;D

No sign of it at the Smith's emporium for gentlemen.

I'm pretty sure it's not out yet.  I renewed my subscription last week and it listed the current edition as number 75.

It's in my hands! Popped into my local newsagents and he had my copy for me...just in time for Christmas. Now, can I just keep my over-excited kids off me for long enough to read it?

It's in my hands!

I am envious. My copy will have to travel across the broad Atlantic before I can feast my anxious eyes upon it.   :(

It seems that it's available in stores before the subscribers get their copy.  :?

Just picked up a copy and already devoured several of the articles. All this talk of Italians in Peking has given me ideas for companies...
Thanks and Merry Christmas

Just a quick note to say that my publisher pre_order came through the postfix ttoday (UK address).

On first flick through, the Martian article and new scenario pieces look very interesting. Nice manufacturer guide as well, although inevitably missed some (Schiltrum miniatures for example)

I picked up my copy on Tuesday on the way home from work. I'd read all the VSF articles before 2100. I think I will be making use of some the ideas in here.
