Mark,
Generally speaking I might agree with you. Folio have done some lovely work, especially in their Travel and Adventure series, and I proudly give shelf space to several of their offerings. However, having just received my Folio catalogue in the mail and seen the following abomination, my confidence is shaken. I have spent a couple of hours resting my eyes and soaking my contacts, but the horror remains. What were they thinking? http://www.foliosociety.com/book/GTC/great-contemporaries Cheers, Dave From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 19, 2015 11:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ChurchillChat] River War Publication Folio would do such a nice job on the entire production. It would probably look almost like the original with slipcover to boot. -----Original Message----- From: chateaustegosaurus <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > To: churchillchat <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Sent: Mon, Oct 19, 2015 10:12 am Subject: Re: [ChurchillChat] River War Publication Not sure about British copyright laws but anything published in the US prior to 1923 is out of copyright and in the public domain. Hillsdale College has been reprinting a lot of the official biography companion volumes. Wonder if they'd be interested?

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.

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.
