RE: [ChurchillChat] The River War

[Dave Turrell]

Lee,

 

“At this point, this subject has been thoroughly discussed and further 
commentary about the date of publication may not be helpful”.  I seem to recall 
that you made a very similar comment the last time this topic came up.  The 
thing is, this topic only comes up after another one or two ‘publication dates’ 
have been and gone, and been replaced without comment or explanation.  So no, 
clearly the topic has not been sufficiently discussed, as several members of 
this list, myself included, need to exchange notes on any misinformation that 
may be floating around out there.  In what way do you see this as unhelpful? 

 

“The suggestion that there has been any lack of candor with respect to the 
timing of this book is not warranted”.  On what do you base this assertion?  On 
the face of the evidence, the suggestion is entirely warranted, although ‘lack 
of candor’ is a kind way of expressing it.

 

Best,

 

Dave

Stan – your inference is incorrect.  The publication of this book is not and 
never has been a direct undertaking or commitment of The Churchill Centre, as 
much as we try to support Prof. Muller on this and all of his other work. We 
will be ordering a substantial number of copies when it is published and

My interpretation of Lee's posting is that there is some financial contribution 
threshold from The Churchill Centre that needs to be reached before the book 
can be published.  And if the Centre had more cash flow the book would have 
been printed and shipped long ago.  If this is the case then why not just 
confess the shortfall and provide everyone with a realistic timeline to 
publication based upon facts and circumstances that everyone can understand.  
Is this the end?  The beginning of the end?  Or, at least the end of the 
beginning?

Dear Jonathan:

 

I wish I could tell you and the other members of this chat group that Prof. 
Muller has been “well compensated” for his 15+ years of work on this immense 
undertaking, but that unfortunately is not the case.  While The Churchill 
Centre has been continuously supportive of his efforts on this and other 
Churchill works, we are a small non-profit and have limited funds available for 
grants for research and writing, no matter how worthy, as this edition of The 
River War surely is. 

 

Specialized works of this kind do not garner big advances from publishers and 
St.  Augustine Press itself is a small independent enterprise in a world where 
the publishing and bookselling trades are under stress.

 

But I would like to offer the following suggestions:

 

1.   This chat group has a fairly large number of members, many of whom are 
not members of The Churchill Centre.  I encourage those of you who are not to 
join, which you can do online or by using the attached form.  If you so 
indicate, one hundred percent of your first year’s dues will be used to support 
the research and writing of Prof. Muller and other scholars.

 

2.   For those who are already members (and for others):  we welcome 
contributions of any amount that you might consider and you can designate that 
your funds be used to support publication of this new edition of The River War 
and/or for general research by Prof. Muller and others.

 

I hope you will all give favorable

Re: [ChurchillChat] The River War

[chateaustegosaurus]

Now I'm really confused.  Whose project is this?  I had originally thought it 
was Prof. Muller's project, in which case he would be free to change publishers 
in case they weren't producing.  I was then given to understand that it was a 
St. Augustine Press project and they had contracted with Prof. Muller to do the 
annotation. In that case, while they would control the publication date, Prof. 
Muller should be adequately compensated under his contract.
So how does the Churchill Centre all of a sudden come into this?  Who, if 
anyone, is running the show and are we ever going to see a published result?  
Or should we just kiss it off and go on to something else.

Re: [ChurchillChat] Re: effigies of Churchill at Madame Tus Saud's

[Joe Oliver]

If it's any help as an incidental detail I remember reading Churchill sat 
for Madame Tussaud workers to model the last waxwork of him in his lifetime 
in 1956. (So that's a span of 48 years between the first and the last)

Afraid I don't have the source to hand but will post if I come across it 
and it has any more information.

I'd be interested to hear what you discover if Madame Tussaud's come back 
with anything helpful.
