Welcome new followers, glad to have you and thank you very much to first time orderers. Check out our catalog of modest but well written wonders here - aanpress.com/aanorder.html (Never modest though about how stellar our authors are. Stellar every day of the week and twice on Sundays they are.)
Thank you to those who supported the GoFundMe page. Things have changed very rapidly this morning & my mother will be receiving hospice care due to news received. I have deleted the fundraiser & have set in process refunding all donors. If any money does come through I will return it personally.

The first story for our 2026 Hard SF, invite only, anthology "The Glorious Melancholy of Urgency" has arrived from E J Delaney. It is a "banger" as the kids say. He sets the bar very high for the other authors who I know will be of the same caliber. More info in 2026. Front cover image by Liuzishan.

Excellent thread. I would add one thing I do, a sign for each stack of books stating in brief what the anthology is about and the price.
Saw a thread on table displays the other day, & while I did reply to that directly, I thought it would be fun to do a thread on it, too. Learn from my mistakes!
