Sad news indeed. I was notified during the week that he went suddenly last weekend. Must have been sudden, as I'd been in email contact with him a few days earlier. Met him first when I was quite a novice collector at the various UK shows, and he was always very helpful and friendly with reasonably priced, sometimes quite exotic, material. He was primarily a fan of film - he has written a few books and, if I remember correctly from early conversations, he started as a journalist writing articles. I suppose one of the disadvantages of the internet is that I stopped bumping into him casually at fairs and auctions, and lost touch to a large degree except for perfunctory emails. Shame to lose such a decent chap. Paul _www.movieposterstudio.com_ (http://www.movieposterstudio.com) In a message dated 21/07/2008 17:36:48 GMT Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Hi, I am sorry to have to report that UK poster dealer Don Shiach has passed away. Anyone who dealt with Don at the Ed Mason shows or though his Ebay sales (Moviedrome) knows that he was a gentleman with a good eye for a rare poster. He will be missed.
