   I saw it, along with long delayed copies of the Nov-Dec issues of   
   _Analog_ and _Asimov's_ at a Barnes and Noble on Saturday. BTW, the   
   copies of _F&SF_ that I saw were the same height, width. and thickness   
   that _Analog_ and _Asimov's_ have had the last several years. I think my   
   subscription is still active, but I haven't received the newest issue   
   yet.
