In order to do AaNX #5 I need to sell more copies of the other issues so I am offering a rare sale - Check out all 4 issues here - aanpress.com/aanorder.html (or use the links above). Buy any 2 issues and get 15% off the order, 3 issues for a 20% discount, or all 4 issues for a 25% discount.

I'd love to do a planned Issue #5 with a collection of modern sword and sorcery drabble stories (300 word range - would be done with an author open call) with red/blue glasses 3D images of fantasy scenes from old pulp journals. 3D glasses would be included.
