Grantville Gazette VI

- Note: The two main articles covering this large rapidly growing book series and this specific sub-series are kept up to date before publication as new titles are added to this rapidly growing milieu oriented body of works.
The Grantville Gazette VI (Main article: The Grantville Gazettes) is the sixth collaborative mixed-work set in the '1632verse' in what is best regarded as a canonical sub-series of the popular Alternate history that began with the February 2000 publication of the hardcover novel 1632 (novel) by author-historian Eric Flint. Overall it is the seventh anthology in the atypical series which consists of a mish-mash of main novels and anthologies produced under popular demand after publication of the initial novel which was written as a stand-alone work. This particular sub-series, the various Grantville Gazettes include encyclopedia grade fact articles by members of the 1632 research committee which cover the technological issues faced in fitting 21st century knowledge and base technology to the 17th Century setting of the Milieu. The internet forum Baen's Bar hosts the 1632verse oriented sub-forums 1632 Tech Manual and 1632 Slush and both forums figure prominently in the background of these works as is covered in the The Grantville Gazettes main article. The series as a whole, and this sub-series in particular are an example of internet-age collaborative writing in the literary field.
The illustration on the cover is "The Workshop of the Alchemist" from the 16th century by Giovanni Stradano (or Johannes Stradanus).... originally Jan van der Straet.
[edit] eBook Table of Contents
Note: In the earliest two Grantville Gazettes, there were differences between the print published version and the original serialized eMagazine, and then again the intermediate eBook as the 'kinks' were worked out of the experiment. Should additional published works differ, it will be noted in the pertinent article.

[edit] List of Gazettes
The Grantville Gazettes are all edited by Eric Flint who maintains editorial control over the canon for the series on the 1632.org website in conjunction with the 1632 editorial board, and the various 1632 research committees, all being regular participants to the Baen's Bar forum 1632 Tech Manual. Gazettes include fact articles (see the 1632 research committee) and stories which are initially vetted through a tough peer review on the forum 1632 slush, typically requiring several rewrites then are subsequently nominated by the editorial board, whereupon Flint chooses the stories for inclusion in whichever volume best meets the needs of the main storyline 'threads' which frequently begin in the Gazettes but are carried forward in the novels.
