Great addition to the Gazette's. There was one story where I wish they explained more or went more in depth. Jul 19, Doc added it. A few really good stories in this collection.

Soon after the release of internet buzz on Baen's Bar showed a heavy concentration of surprise and queries because the Confederated Principalities of Europe armed forces of Gustavus depicted in the novel had been given less advanced firearms than readers had projected, the muzzleloading SRG rifle. Once the Gazettes moved from conceived experiment to implemented trial, this essay—"Flint's Lock" by Grantville Firearms Roundtable members Leonard Hollar, Bob Hollingsworth, Tom Van Natta, and John Zeek—was commissioned by Flint to explain "why a muzzle loading flintlock rifle was chosen, rather than the pet design of every fan, requires a look at many problems faced by the Grantvillers and their understanding of those problems.
Andrew Clark's how-to essay, "Alchemical Distillation" is a brief chemical treatise on how processes familiar to the 17th century alchemists can be used to prepare a number of refined and very useful 18th—20th century industrial and final user products such as the analgesic aspirin , purified acetic acid from "bad wine", that is vinegar , various kinds of tree bark extracts like the familiar 17th century's pine tar —which have very different useful properties, a transformation of pine pitch into turpentine —a basis of better industrial preservatives —especially better paints, sodium acetate , acetic anhydride a powerful desiccant that could be used with a lot of care as an explosive or explosive primer , and so forth.
The essay is written as if a local down-timer alchemist has written the text, but included a lot of up-timer English terminology to the benefit of his audience. Those familiar with [the series] will find Grantville Gazette an indispensable addition to their collection. If you are a fan of alternate history, you will want to read it.

So, I came up with a way to "quiet the title" to the land. That lead me to a monk who had given up all claim to any earthly posession. Virginia DeMarce explained the historical way that could have happened in the real world of , and the rest is I like stories that you can read from several different angles. I hope you do too. The four stars instead of five means that I acknowledge that the overall quality of writing in this book is not that of Eric Flint, Jack McDermitt, or Robert Heinlein.
It is very good fan fiction though and having read more of the stories by this group of authors, I can assure you that you will be enjoying more of their work.

I just sold my second story to the Grantville Gazette for volumes twenty through twenty five. At this rate by the turn of the Twenty Second Century, I might actually sell a book! I was very surprised to find myself not liking so much of this book. I am a big fan of the series, and my previous reads have met all my expectations.
However, too much of the Grantville Gazette appears to be filler, and uninteresting filler at that.
If you're going to flesh out the characters and background of a fiction series, it should be with other fiction stories in my humble opinion. The large Fact section was for me a waste of space, while the story The Sewing Circle, by Gorg Huff, was long to the point of self-indulgence - like a charlie horse, I was begging for it to be over long before the end finally arrived.
Grantville Gazette Volume III
The other four fiction stories were enjoyable, but I can't quite say they were worth the price of the book - kind of like buying an entire CD because there are one or two songs on it you like. Hopefully the other Grantville Gazette books will be improvements over this initial offering. See all 66 reviews.
