If anyone know of any galleries that might be interested in hosting our exhibition let me know

thanks

We are having an exhibition of prints from the football book in Walthamstow, north east London. It would be good to see anyone who could make it.

I've just started a group on Facebook for Football's Comic Book Heroes . In the next couple of weeks we are going to be running a competition to win a limited edition of the book and some other prizes. If you click on the link below you can join up

[ If you want it, just PM me your address and I'll get it into the post tomorrow. No charge. Just let us know what you think of it.

A very kind offer, and I've love to hear it, but I no longer have any way of playing cassettes. My last machine gave up the ghost, and I can't see myself buying a ...

Thanks, I've tried that it seems you need to pay a subscription

Does anyone have any idea how we find out the sales figures for our two books? The only info I have is the ranking on Amazon

I made myself a couple of t shirts when I was working on the football book, and reproductions of the first Beano and Dandy annuals (which I don't think were ever published). I looked into producing them to sell, but it's an expensive business and I know nothing about the rag trade, so decided ...

I think the overall response from the forum has been very encouraging, and we are very grateful for the positive feedback. We understand that anyone who reads the book has a right to post an opinion and we have to accept it and take the rough with the smooth.
It’s been a very frustrating process ...

Thank Phoenix, for your review and comments on When the Comics Went
to War. You've certainly given it a good read through! just a couple
of points I'd like to raise... I know Adam is upset that the
publishers' proof readers did not pick up some of the 'silly' errors
such as typos, spelling ...

Digi, you're probably right, but when you set up a book to be THE reference book, you need to deal in hard fact.

I don't think we ever said it was THE reference book, unless a press release has gone out that I haven't seen.

To answer another point, we are going to try to credit the artists in ...
