Both books are short story collections, and both were World Fantasy Award finalists. In fact, TFWA won the World Fantasy Award back in \u201903. Originally released in hardcover, TFWA has long since sold out, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1930846398\/ref=s9_sdps_c2_s1_p14_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_s=center-2&amp;pf_rd_r=118GX0MWSYZ7YC5GY7N1&amp;pf_rd_t=101&amp;pf_rd_p=470938631&amp;pf_rd_i=507846\">EMPIRE\u2019s hardcover edition<\/a> is about to do the same. \n<p>Just noticed that Jeff Ford has himself <a href=\"http:\/\/www.well-builtcity.com\/\">a new website<\/a> called THE WELL-BUILT CITY.
