Title: Fwd: [rehinnercircle] THE DARK MAN #5/advance
sales, s
Fellow Enthusiasts and Scholars of
the Work of Robert Ervin Howard,
A preview of content for Issue #5 of the reinvigorated and (to be)
semi-annually-published THE DARK MAN: The Journal of Robert E.
Howard
Studies is as follows (alphabetically by contributor's last
names):
Fred Blosser, "When Kull Rode the Range"
Rusty Burke, "All fled, All done �"
Frank Coffman, "Editor's Welcome," (and brief explanations
of the two
Letters sections: "The Cairn," and "Lock Box
313")
Charles Hoffman, "Escape from Eden: Genesis Subverted in 'The
Garden of Fear'"
Gary Hoppenstand, "Soldiering for Fortune: Robert E. Howard's
Kirby
O'Donnell and 'The Treasures of Tartary'"
Glenn Lord, a tidbit of info on a mail-order book catalogue belonging
to REH.
Gary Romeo, "'The Tower of the Elephant': A Modern Fable"
and a
sidebar of info on "James Allison's Incarnations"
Edward Waterman, "Dating Wolfshead"
It seems that the publishers for the first four numbers of the
journal, Necronomicon Press, are phasing out of the small press
publication game. This being the case, one possible solution to
the
problem of publication for Issue 5 and subsequent numbers is to
create a not-for-profit corporation(501-C3 educational) or a
non-profit (501-C5) entity.
Estimates for the 500-copy run are between $1200 to $1500, and the
costs below reflect the high likelihood of overhead costs and
inventory, since I estimate no more than half of these will move
relatively quickly. Some spec copies will be sent to
selected
college/university and city libraries and a few copies need to be
given to the accrediting agencies: MLA and MHRA for inclusion
in
annual bibliographies. Successful contributors will each
receive
three (3) copies of any issue in which their work appears. If
sales
greatly exceed expectations, then the subscription rates below
could
be adjusted, the underlying premise being to keep the publication
solid and operational. The concept herein presented is to get
enough
money together to get the project off and rolling.
This I herein propose, the following not needing immediate
incorporation in order to act as the above, but which can quickly
evolve into a specialist publishing group for REH-related
material,
specifically TDM. The members of the Board of Reviewers and
Consultants for The Dark Man (see the new mirror web-site at:
http://www.pop-lit.com/rehowardjournal ) would oversee
and legitimize
the keeping of a bank account for the purpose of funding this
journal
and enabling the jobbing out of its printing for publication).
A
full accounting of revenues and expenditures will be posted in
each
issue of TDM.
The rates listed below are inclusive of postage.
Cover price of the TDM #5 (and for the foreseeable future) = $7.50
Advance (pre-publication) per copy sale = $6.00
$12.00 for a 1 year subscription.
2 Year Subscription = $22.00
Patron/Sponsor amounts of $25.00 and up (in $5.00 increments,
please)
are most welcome. These would also obtain the number of
future
issues to the number of the amount given in patronage/sponsorship
divided by $5.00.
