Just a note to Erik:
On the strength of your recommendation and the treatement in #352, I bought Perdid Street Station on Friday.
There is not a chance I would have bought thie book without your glowing recommendation and the article in Dragon #352. Nil. Zip. Nada. Zero point zero percent.
While I may not be every reader - I am sure I am like many of them. The author got some solid exposure and return from Dragon #352. Do not doubt for a moment that he did.
Whether I am going to thank you or blame you for the purchse remains to be seen - only 70 pages in or so and I don't think it's quite "going" yet.
The reason I originally picked up Perdido Street Station was because of Richard Petts' "The Styes" adventure. When I learned of the Dragon issue coming out, I read The Scar in about a week. Now I'm waiting for Iron Council to come in the mail. All of this excellent reading was spurred by Paizo Publishing's products. So, you'd better believe I'm getting a subscription into the foreseeable future.

I also picked up Perdido Street Station based on the comments in the Dragon editorial. I manage a bookstore and had to order a copy in. Funny thing is while I did not recognize the title I did recognize the cover when it arrived--I almost bought it years ago when it was new in hardcover but never did. Now I'm about halfway through the book and I am really enjoying it.
Thanks Erik.
Of course this means I've barely looked at this issue of Dragon in an attempt to avoid spoilers.
I'm doing the same, and just loving Perdido Street Station. I'm forcing myself to not read the monster entries untill they appear in the novel. It's fun to immediately read the conversion right after seeing them in action in the novel.
The conversions were great. This was a sweet issue.
