As some of you may have seen, Ash-Tree Press has started releasing a few of its titles in electronic versions. Whether you love them, hate them, or are indifferent to them, electronic readers are here to stay, and our thinking is that a publisher who ignores them does so at its peril. Apart from one title, the e-books published thus far are reprints of books we've published in print in the past. The exception is The Thames Horror and Other Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, which collects my four Holmes pastiches (three previously published, one seeing print here for the first time). It's attracted a couple of very positive reviews on the Amazon site, which you can read here: http://tinyurl.com/7e4jux6 Among the reprint titles available are Wakefield's They Return at Evening and Old Man's Beard, Matt Cardin's Divinations of the Deep, Chico Kidd and Rick Kennett's No. 472 Cheyne Walk, and all three volumes of Frederick Cowles's weird fiction. Coming soon are titles by Reggie Oliver, Lawrence C. Connolly, Simon Kurt Unsworth, Steve Rasnic Tem, and more. If you have a Kindle, the titles can be ordered through Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk. Anyone with a Kobo or Nook can order from the Ash-Tree Press website at http://www.ash-tree.bc.ca/eBooks.htm. (Kindle versions can also be purchased through the Ash-Tree site.) | ||

"Whether you love them, hate them, or are indifferent to them, electronic readers are here to stay, and our thinking is that a publisher who ignores them does so at its peril. " Amen to that. And I shall indeed be checking out your list and purchasing a few goodies. | ||

I shall be doing so too - I'm still missing 'Old Man's Beard' and can't afford the prices it's going for second-hand! | ||

I thought the L at the end of this thread title was an exclamation mark for a second... | ||

It still is a real book, Des – I mean it's still in print. If 'The Mound' by Zealia Bishop (ghostwritten by H.P. Lovecraft) had been set in the north of England it might have been called 'Divinations of the Deep'. | ||

Yes, you're right, Joel, it's still a real book even if it wasn't still in print. Unless the planet itself is no longer real nor the books upon it. |
