I'm not sure either.
But I bought one.
It would irk me to think that there is an RJ that I haven't read.

[SIZE="3"] Since I'd never been involved with anything like that before, I did a piece for him. It's the type of thing -- illustrated with a woodcut and all -- that's designed to be framed. It's a very small edition of a very small story. For completist nuts only. (That's not a pejorative -- I used to be one myself.)[/SIZE]

It's killing me with internal debate on this one. Being a completist nut, I want one. Trying to be more responsible with the family finances, I'm reluctant.
Will this story likely be reprinted? Or could this be the only time the story sees print?

[SIZE="3"]I doubt I'll have a 4th short story collection, so a reprint is unlikely. I may incorporate it into a future novel but I can't promise.[/SIZE]

Yeah, but what's a "broadside"...?
...I looked it up in my handy dandy blue dictionary and it says, "a large sheet of paper printed on one side"... and then it goes on, but that is the important stuff.
Maybe it sounds silly, but I didn't know what a "broadside" was, at least in this context. A short story, a novella, an essay, a novel -- I know what those are. I never heard anyone say, "I'm going to go write a broadside today."

I'd never heard of a "broadside" before either. I'm guessing it's referring to the method of printing (like poster, book, pamphlet, flyer, etc) rather than length of words.
