[...] Of…” anthologies out there somewhere, and the rival SF lovers’ Hugo Awards is coming out with an anthology again after a long absence from the market. But they’re going to have to go a long way to beat the Nebulas, which has been impressing [...]

I’m really glad to see this, and I, too, hope that there will be some way of picking up the “missed” years when there was no anthology.

“Great news indeed! Now if we can only persuade them to re-issue all of the older editions and cover the years between them and this new edition as well”

Well, yeah, it would be nice, but betcha thar be rights issues, matey. Probably a real mess, too.

re 2010 vs 2009: from what I know of the general book buying public, if they see “2009 volume”, they’re going to think the book is a year old, and who wants old moldy non-fresh stuff?

And we do want the general non-fannish SF reader to pick this up, right?

Possibly silly point. The 2010 edition will feature winners (and I’d guess some nominees) from the 2009 Hugo Awards, which were for work published in 2008. Personally, and anally, I’d prefer this be called the 2009 edition, rather than use a year that has no link to either the Awards year or the publication year.
