The London of Jack the Ripper - Robert Clack and Philip Hutchinson

[The Grave Maurice]

I thought that Rob and Phil would have made enough off the first edition to buy adjoining properties in Cavalaire-sur-mer. Non? OK, then I'll buy the second edition.

[George Hutchinson]

GM, we got a small advance and that was it. We've not been paid royalties on anything from 2008 - a condition of reprinting was that we take copies of the book at authors' discount in lieu of royalties. I can sell them on my tours but in fact in the early stages I will be quids down, as I'll be taking Rob's copies off him (not having an outlet for them). For most of us, writing books gives a return for the labour under the minimum wage.

It's here! It's a beauty.

All cross-hatching corrected, a much nicer matt cover and lots of scrummy new photos... and an index, I do believe!

Congratulations(I seem to be writing that a lot lately here), Philip!

It looks great! Now where to buy? Can you sell it directly?

[George Hutchinson]

Can you sell it directly?

That I can. Postage to the US is horribly high, though.

PHILIP

[Mike Covell]

How about carrier pigeon to Hull?

[Lord Lucan]

I'll be putting this on my Christmas list! Incidentally, does this make the first printing a collectable? I have two copies as Amazon seemingly lost my order, replaced it, then the original arrived 3 months later!!!

Hi, Philip.

Maybe you could sort of 'smuggle' some copies over to America for free in the luggage of Conference attendees?

(Because I guess it would be a bit cruel to force them to physically swallow a number of books in order to serve as your "mule" )

Congrats again to you & Rob.

Best regards, Archaic

I'd like to know how much it would cost to get a couple of signed copies (one for me, and one for my brother, and, preferably, before Christmas) across the ocean to the Senior Dominion.

[George Hutchinson]

I suspect that rather depends on the suitcase of Robert J McLaughlin, GM!

PHILIP

[The Grave Maurice]

Oh, Robert, I wonder if we could have a private word?

I will get them signed for you, and post them once I return to Canadian soil. Just message me.

Hi Guys.

Well, my son bought me "The London Of Jack The Ripper" as a present last Christmas.

It's absolutely first class, so I'll be asking for the second edition this coming Christmas.

Great stuff Philip and Rob.

All the best.

Robert,

Did you receive the PM that I sent you over the weekend? I noticed today that it doesn't appear in my Sent Items basket.

[RJM]

I have not received a PM from you. Try again, or just email me at lacassagne@email.com as I'm not worried about being spammed at this address.

Cheers,

Robert
