I've expanded and reorganized the FAQs for this blog; I hope they'll be more useful and answer more questions. Please leave any additional questions in the comments.

Q: What's the name of this blog?

So far, this blog is nameless. You can call it "the SFBC blog" or "bookblogger SFBC" or something like that. We do have hopes to have a real name in the near future, but it hasn't happened yet.

Q: What's the purpose of the SFBC blog?

In my wildest dreams: to induce every SFF-reading person in the US and Canada to join the club, then to buy lots of books which they will love to death. (The linking arms to sing campfire songs and building a secret base from which to conquer the galaxy are strictly optional.)

More realistically, this blog is here to remind people who read SF and Fantasy that there is a Science Fiction Book Club, and that we publish (and reprint) a lot of good books, and sell them at great prices. Along the way, we hope to round up as much book-related SFF news as we can (we'll try to avoid talk about movies, games, and other media to keep the focus on books), including all the reviews and interviews I can find.

Q: Who writes the SFBC blog?

So far, just me: Andrew Wheeler, SFBC's Senior Editor. Several other people have expressed some interest, but haven't done anything yet. You may see some of them later, though.

Q: How can I submit news items to the SFBC blog?

E-mail anything you think we might be interested in to andrew dot wheeler at doubledayent dot com. I can't guarantee that everything will get in, but I do hope to be as comprehensive and interesting as possible. More news is always better.

Q: Is the SFBC Blog always going to look this bare-bones?

All of the "bookblogger" sites have the same design look, but most of them are essentially ghost-towns now (since they don't have insane bloggers like me keeping them up), so that unified focus may shift in the future. Right now, though, my company's Internet marketing people have a big project on their plates (a major redesign and new software platform for all of our websites), so I wouldn't expect any major changes in the near future.

I do have hopes of getting a decent blog-roll going here, but I don't know when that will happen. (For now, though, you can always check out the one on my personal blog, The Antick Musings of G.B.H. Hornswoggler, Gent., where I have a number of SFF resources and the blogs/LiveJournals of every SFF author I've found to date.)

Q: Is the SFBC Blog available as a feed?

Yes; the address is thebookblogger.com/sfbc/atom.xml.

Q: Can I comment on SFBC Blog posts?

Yes; comments are available on all entries. Just click on the Comments link under the post. All comments are moderated, but that's only because I'm deleting spam -- every comment made by a real person so far has been posted.
