Take yer pick as to whether you'd like more reprints or new adventures (be they 21st century or period)-there are plans for both. But publishing is a business. And businesses have to make money, otherwise, well, they go out of business. And one reason Saint books stopped in the 1980s was because they weren't making money. The only way to see more Saint adventures in print is for us all to do our best to make sure these anthologies sell well. Paraphrasing what Leslie said about The Saint Sees It Through. "Give them to your friends for Christmas. Have the pages separated and use them to repair your living-room, instead of the ordinary wallpaper which is so hard to get. Tear them up and use them for confetti. Give them to your children for cutting out paper dolls. Use them for door stops, for squashing cockroaches, for holding down the lid of the pressure cooker. Mount stamp collections in them. Soak the ink out of the pages and boil it down to make your own shoe polish. Let Junior chew up the pages to make spit balls. Use them for bait to lure the termites out of the walls so that you can get them with the DDT. Break them up and use them for kindling. Split the sheets with a razor and use them for Kleenex. Keep several copies handy for throwing at cats on the back fence, or to climb up on to reach the top shelves of the closet. Do anything you like with them, but for Chris'sake buy thousands of copies so." .that we can get more Saint adventures in print. Seriously, Hodders are giving these books a piddlingly small print run and have virtually no budget to promote them. But if they don't sell, then Saint books in the UK are pretty well doomed. I've done my best to spread the word to as many relevant websites as possible but I'm open to suggestions. If you can think of ways these books can be promoted-at no cost-or people/web sites who should be told about them, then spread the word!

Courtesy of Saint David Salter the Saint Club has three brand spanking new designs of Christmas card to sell this forthcoming festive season. And yes, although it is my job to sell'em and I am undoubtedly biased, I think these cards are brilliant. David has done an excellent job. So now we need to get them printed. Does anyone know any printers who might be generous enough to do a good job for a charitable organisation such as this? We'd only need a few hundred cards printed (and envelopes)! Please e-mail me off-list if you think you can help. Thanks, Ian -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
