Subject: New info about SER1 James Taylor's Book - The Original Series 1
Date: 05:16 on 19 Oct 2005

Thanks to Diana for providing the info, I contacted them today (not Marci, I went to the sales manager). It turns out they bought the rights to the book from the UK publisher. Their upper management is overseas at a big book publishers meeting right now, so we will have to be patient as the folks left behind are not the ones who can make a decision of this kind. I'll let everyone know what transpires, but it may take at least two weeks. 

It would really help to know how many people are interested and at what price. I asked and they said that potential sales of 1500 - 2000 copies would definitely get them interested in a reissue. They could not provide me with information about how many of these books were published originally in 1996. The original price for the book was US $34.95, but a price increase would probably really get them interested. (I do know that a used copy here in the US sold last month for $88 through a used book seller).  I did tell them that with exchange rates and shipping charges some Land Rover enthusiasts would be unfairly penalized if they charged too much. I gave them my name and email address and expect they will get back with me. So all hope is not lost.

Please help me to find out how many people are interested. I will also pass this request along to other Land Rover email lists. Market strength is in numbers and by the numbers :)

Regards,

Karen Sindir

Still at motorbooks or back again at James Taylor. If the rights are at J.T., maybe he´s interested in sharing his knowledge with other enthusiast. Maybe he agrees with copying his book for private use only. <BR></P>
