Sanderson Story in upcoming Anthology

Apologies if this is old news, but a new anthology is coming out this month called Galactic Empires (edited by Neil Clarke) and it includes the Brandon Sanderson short story Firstborn. Evidently Firstborn can be purchased elsewhere (99 cent) on kindle. I mention this news because I had never heard of Firstborn before and it might be of interest to someone here. Here is the table of contents for the collection if anyone is interested:

It has, but this is a new way to get it in print. Also I'm sure there are some Sanderson fans like me that have never heard of Firstborn and wanted to draw attention to it. Even though it's a new book this a old story. I think it's hard to get in print so if you are waiting for a cheap way to get it in print with what appears to be some other great stories then this is worth a look.

I've read Firstborn and really liked it! Basically is a story of what if you were a younger brother to a evil Andrew Wiggen. Just as good as many of the stories in Arcanum Unbounded. The rest of the Galactic Empires anthology (from what I've read) is solid as well.
