Sandstone Press

Moving forward not so slowly

Posted by RLD on 9th December 2009

In the past few days we have ordered the fourth print run of Cairngorm John, pretty good for a hardback that only came out in March. We weren’t conservative with print runs either, but John Allen has produced a classic. We will also be calling up a first reprint of our two Gaelic books which were launched only in October at the Oban Mod (see Oban Bay in the Sandstone Blogspot).

In the first half of 2010 we will publish more books than we have published in any one full year to date. In addition we look forward to the mystery announcement which we are working hard on and hope to declare in January. Work proceeds on the two remaining covers for the first half of next year and we think you will agree that, like the covers presently on show in Forthcoming, they are going to be belters.

The Festive Season is almost on us but there is still time to buy through the internet or in the book stores - and please don’t forget to visit your small local independent such as World’s End in Edinburgh, or the Ceilidh Place in Ullapool, or the fabulous Shetland Times Bookshop in Lerwick. Incidentally, the equally fabulous Edna Burke, who made the Lerwick shop what it is, is retiring at the turn of the year and tells me she is applying to be Ron McMillan’s gofur on his new film project. Good luck to her but we think she should be the star.

Now please do take time to explore this web site. You can click through to any one of four internet buying sites from the book pages and don’t forget to visit the blogspot.
