Jacques Barcia has received a press release from Solaris confirming that the imprint is up for sale. Details here. (BTW, I know I shouldn’t make fun of mis-spellings by people whose first language is not English, but the idea of Solaris sailing off into the future, presumably on a solar wind, is too beautiful not to mention.)

Anyway, there it is. Commiserations to Jules, Chris, David and any other authors I know who are caught up in this. George, Mark: if I can be of any help, please get in touch.

Update: Jacques tells me he is covered in embarrassment and has edited his post. It is all Apple’s fault. Mr. Jobs apparently doesn’t recognize the word “sale”.
