It's been going on for at least 11 years to my personal knowledge.  As the
Texans might say, this would appear to be a publisher that is all hat and no
cattle. or, as we Brits might prefer it, all mouth and trousers.

 

Their lesser known publication of Savrola remains equally ethereal.

 

My guess would be if Prof. Muller was paid to do the editing and annotation
work then St. Augustine's is pretty much bullet-proof in their choice as to
when or if to publish it. 

 

I see no reason, however, that the vanilla text of The River War should not
be republished as is - I cannot imagine that St. Augustine's bought the
copyright to that.  If it can be done then it would be a great service to
Churchill bibliography - the full text has not been published since the
first edition of 1899/1900.

Subject: [ChurchillChat] River War Publication

 

St. Augustine's Press still has The River War under "Forthcoming Books", yet
still no publication date.  This has been going on for a donkey's years  -
has Prof. Muller considered dropping these people and going with some
publisher who's actually willing to publish?  It would seem that if he has a
contract that St. Augustine's Press' lack of performance would be sufficient
reason to abandon ship.

 

Just a thought.
