The release ans award dates (if correct) require time travel.
Anyone know the correct dates? Osprey
- Per the Sidewise Award site, it was indeed nominated for the 1995 award (though it did not, in fact, win it). Per Amazon, the first edition was released March 1, 1996. So I'm confused, too. —Cryptic (talk) 04:49, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
- You know? This one had me stumped as well, until it dawned on me. When you read, Sidewise's website, you'll note the publisher is listed as "Hodder & Staughton", a *British* publisher. Apparently, it was published in the UK first in 1995, before its U.S. debut in March of 1996. See: http://catalogue.bl.uk for details. The book was an interesting read, I remember it. Interesting, a mistake we make often in the USA, assuming a book has been published in this country first. I wonder if the same would have happened in Turtledove's British America, or "North American Union" --Larry G 05:50, 13 November 2005 (UTC) Posting from around New Liverpool <grin>.
Flag
I have switched the "jack and stripes" used on this page a flag of the British East India Company with the post-1800 Union Jack. According to FOTW, this flag is used in the book; see http://flagspot.net/flags/fic_2g.html#nau. - Thanks, Hoshie 09:33, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

That map is...
...incorrect, per the authoritative version included in the front of the version I finished reading. The British still have British Guiana, Portugal is evidently independent (Or at least still owns Brazil), all of Africa is listed as belonging to someone, etc, etc. 68.39.174.238 18:26, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
