Thank You for your reply Ultra. I look forward to the day when they are reprinted. I’d love to see it in time for christmas.
For the last few months I’ve been closely monitoring Powys website, and various forum threads on the Prisoner Books. Being a fan of the Prisoner, I am very ega to get my hands on the “The Prisoner Dilemma” and “Miss Freedom”. I also work in a bookshop in Britain, and know various ways of finding books worldwide, both new and second hand. Searching for new copies of “The Prisoner Dilemma” is very hard! Amazon.com has run out of there stock and doesn’t look like they’re going to get any back. There are various second hand copies to be had however.
Miss Freedom, is even harder to get hold of and I can’t find any copies, in any condition, to buy. However, when you said that only 100 copies were ever printed, to be sold at conventions, it made sense. The fans that have copies obviously don’t want to sell them.
As I read from so many other thread pages, it’s seems that the majority of people at Powys simply don’t have the time to continually produce the books you publish. Might I suggest you consider becoming a print on demand publisher? It would certainly allow you to satisfy demand, and you wouldn’t have to worry trying to sell a stock. However, would there be a problem with ITV licensing?
Recently you’ve attempted to sell some of your titles on Lulu.com, and might I say that I think that is a great idea if you did it with all your titles. Not only does it work on a print on demand basis, but allows the books to be brought on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. Again, would there be a problem with ITV licensing in doing that?
Have you ever thought about expanding into the British book market? Currently the two big UK wholesalers are Gardner’s and Bertram’s.
I am merely making some suggestions and hope that I am not imposing.
