Amongst the bevy of very nice people I met for the first time at Worldcon was Michael Rowley, the recently appointed SF buyer at Waterstones. Michael has just posted his top ten SF&F books of the year to the company web site. It includes The Man from the Diogenes Club and Nova Swing. (And Air but, as Michael admits, that’s a cheat.) I feel a lot more confident about Waterstones knowing that someone like Michael is involved.
