• John Ordover, editor at Pocket Books, just sent along a reminder that in order to receive a free 'Star Trek: New Earth' postcard (as offered a few days ago), you need to send him an email at ordover@aol.com containing your full name and street address. Apparently many people have been forgetting to include these, and, considering the lack of transporter facilities email has, he won't be able to send you a postcard unless you send in your street address.
