RE: SER1 Original Series I

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/10/25]

Hi Lyndon,

money speaks wonders - what about us offering a refundable deposit to MBI. 
We in effect are placing a firm order for some quantity of the book. 
Pre-selling the publication before it is even printed may convince MBI to 
proceed.

My thoughts!

Hey folks, I thought you might like to read the attached e-mail.

Karen, I hope I am not working at cross purposes to you - I had e-mailed
James Taylor before I learned that you had also contacted him.  Aside
from asking if he would support a re-print I had asked if he would
insert a note into a future issue of LRe to establish levels of interest
in a reprint: I had volunteered myself as a contact point to collate the
information and pass on to Karen. (Hope I wasn't being presumptuous!)
If anyone has any suggestions as to appropriate wording for the note
please drop me a line!

Dear Lyndon,

Many thanks for your e-mail on this subject.

It has been a major source of annoyance to me that MBI have so far not
re-published "Original Series I". I know, as you do, that there is a big
demand for it and that a limited reprint would be a good investment for
the
publishing company.

I would of course support any attempt to get the book re-published. I'm
sure
you will understand that I would lay claim to the usual royalties (I
think
these are 10% of cover price by MBI's last reckoning), but apart from
that I
would not put any stipulations on the deal. As a suggestion, re-printing
with a soft cover would save costs; the book would not feel as
substantial
as the hard-bound version, but it might make the difference between the
viability and non-viability of a re-print!

If the project goes ahead in some form, we could also look at including
an
Appendix of revisions, corrections, etc. I hope there aren't too many,
but
I'd rather that the book was as complete as it can possibly be!

I can certainly put a note into an upcoming issue of LRe, and I'd be
grateful for a suggestion from you about the form of words.

Please keep me informed of progress on this project. It has my full
support.


With kind regards
