New edition of Peace
http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57420219-1/tor-books-to-drop-drm-on-entire-catalog-of-e-books/ I'm not techy enough to know what's the fuss about DRM etc., but it's news to me that there's a new edition of Peace *coming out with a nice new cover and an afterword by Neil Gaiman! I was possibly going to do a re-read of *Peace soon, but now I'm going to wait until I can do so with this new edition in my grubby paws. -DOJP

There is. Amazon currently has a pre-order up for the print version (no pre-order fro the eBook, but those usually are delayed a bit).

DRM is an anti-copy technology and it really is awesome news if it's being dropped by a major publisher. All anti-piracy mechanisms always end up only hurting the legitimate users, not the pirates (who always find ways to circumvent them and end up with a more user-friendly product!).

I love the new cover art! I think it's one of the better covers I've seen on a Wolfe book. Cheers, Ed My WolfeWiki profile: http://www.wolfewiki.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Profiles.DarthEd

Yeah, definitely. Particularly gratifying to me as I find the majority of them quite cringe-worthy. Here's hoping for a new era of quality book covers for Wolfe editions! -DOJP
