The Hugo Package is now available!

At a recent meeting, this question was asked: Why pay to support a convention I cannot attend?

One reason fans will pay a supporting fee to World con is so that they can vote for the Hugo Award. For 40 Euros, you get a package of reading material that includes entire novels!

This package includes all the art from the Earthsea book which I reviewed in WARP 104!
