Eric Flint's 1632 & Beyond Issue #6
This issue's cover art comes from "Passing Fair" by Virginia DeMarce. That term is the source of confusion between up-timers and down-timers and something of a pun—but also a matter about which reasonable people can sharply disagree.
Terry Howard's "From Cramps To Matrimony" shows how specialty teas from Grantville lead to socioeconomic (and domestic) tension in Mecklenburg Province.
Robert E. Waters concludes his cycle of baseball stories with "Cassini Runs Home." It’s the end of the team’s season, but is it the end of young Mr. Cassini’s love affair with baseball?
Tim Sayeu’s "A Guest At The New Year" is a wonderfully creative story. Of all the future knowledge an up-timer could provide a down-timer, there isn’t a ghost of a chance this was on your list.
Part 2 of Iver P. Cooper’s beekeeping article on its potential in a new timeline addresses transplanting bees and beekeeping law.

This issue has good stories. My favorite is Waters' 'Cassini Runs Home." I hope that series of stories comes out in book form, one that besides the Kindle edition is printed on real paper. This issues' non-fiction article was even more interesting than last issues, even though it was the remainder of last issues article. All-in-all a good issue.

What is bigotry? What is baseball?
In one story, Grantville debates half breeds, theater and Christianity. In another, a little Italian boy falls in love with baseball.

Slightly better than Issue 5. Part 2 of the Bee Keeping non-fiction piece, which was good. I enjoyed the mailbag story.

Good read!
Seemed like the good start for more complex things to come. The plays and the self involved zealot competition is notable and engaging.
