Book gone to print

Hi everyone,

 

Once again, thanks for your support. Catacombs of Terror! has been sent to print and will be back in early October, when we will send out all rewards. We'll also announce details of a launch event when the rewards are sent out. 

£45 to go

August 3rd 2015 — 9 years 3 months ago

Just £45 to go to hit our target. But don't forget that if we go over, I get a jolly decent lunch with Sterling Bland. Can I suggest you give till it hurts. Before midnight. 

Scratter here! Dicky Scratter!

I don't believe it!

Bland regained consciousness after lunch and came to my club where he informed me he has secured an arrangement with Tangent Books of Bristol to co-publish Donwood's 'classic' Catacombs of Terror!

According to Bland, Tangent Books will pay for the design and typesetting and share the print cost of the book if Scratter & Pomace meet Blimfield's and Bland's fees. Tangent seem to think the book will be popular in The Americas. I can't imagine why. In short, it means we have to raise another £180 with a day to go.

Scratter here!

August 2nd 2015 — 9 years 3 months ago

Enjoyed an excellent lunch with Sterling Bland. I left him sleeping like a baby. Shame we couldn't remove him from the restaurant first. Anyway, before he passed out Bland told me that he's been contacted by a 'major publisher' who is interested if partnershing with Scratter & Pomace to publish Donwood's 'classic'.

'The deal is all but done, Dicky,' he assured me as he slid from his chair.

And apparently the case of Somerset Farmhouse Cider I sent that fella Donwood was well received.

Onwards and upwards!

Or downwards in Bland's case. Chin-chin.
