Two questions, Kevin: 1) How do you rate RTW, both in the overall context of Wolfe's oeuvre and in competition with OBW and IGJ? 2) Is Tor sending out review copies? I requested one five weeks ago, but no reply as yet... ===== Dr. Nicholas Gevers, Associate Editor, INFINITY PLUS (http://www.infinityplus.co.uk).

As to the second: I don't think they're sending out general review copies yet. ``` Wombat, a.k.a.
