If only I knew one... Actually, it's even worse than I first thought. Looking at the magazine there are only three pages given over to books and two of those go to graphic novels (mostly old Marvel reprints for some reason) - so there's only actually one page of book reviews and half of that is given over to the editors' "best books" (1984, Frankenstein, I am Legend and The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories). So there's actually only one new book reviewed - Deadstock by Jeffrey Thomas. I'm wondering if the BSFA should approach them and see if we can trade reviewers/fan news/interviews for coverage... “But maybe they need an insightful and voiciferous movie critic, eh?”

From the sounds of the minimal literature content, probably not a potential market for yours truly. But maybe they need an insigtful and vociferous movie critic, eh? ;) Hmmm.
