New Third Edition of SF Encyclopedia to Be Published Online for Free

Underwritten by Gollancz. I assumed something of the sort was in the works, since I’ve heard the likes of John Clute and David Langford muttering about updated material from time to time, but it’s good to know that the rough beast now has a schedule for its slouching. As mentioned before, the second edition is pretty much essential for anyone with an interest in the field, and I expect the third to be no less essential.

    This may sound heretical, but I never liked the Nicholls-edited Encyclopedia that much; besides the typography being too small, I found that the entries weren’t as substantial as they could have been. I much preferred the James Gunn book; flawed though it may have been in its limited scope, it at least featured perceptive, excellently-written essays by some of the best writers and surveyors of the field.
