Great news! A nitpick: the magazine’s name is [Fantasy & Science Fiction](http://www.sfsite.com/fsf/). ---

I started [a thread on this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=411535) a couple of weeks ago. The response was not overwhelming. Hope yours does better. ---

Well, I went to Borders to try to buy it with my edumacator’s discount, but alas, though it is March 27, the May edition is on sale. However F&SF is not yet selling April as a “back issue” nor do they have the May edition posted as “current edition.” I may just buy it as a pdf and the hell with it. ---

[/QUOTE] Yeah, I went to pick it up today and saw the May edition. Confusing, too, since I looked on their website and it said that the Wolfe issue would be on newstands on March 25th. ---

Thanks. I’m in Oregon. I’ll either wait for F&SF to offer it as a single-copy back issue or buy it as a pdf.
