My
blog readers will remember a series of posts from Don Donovan's book 'Great
Works Re-visited'. He put the book together at the suggestion of a publisher
who, when he'd finished, declined to publish! He then had it submitted to three
other publishers all of whom rejected it, the last one saying 'While
everyone felt it was very cleverly done, the feeling was that we just wouldn’t
be able to make enough sales to make it work for either you or us.'
Don
feels that it might have done better if he'd offered it in the UK as it's a bit
literarily intellectual but he really doesn't want the hassle of British
agents, publishers or slush piles. So he has made the book available on the
Internet. It can be bought as a hard copy or e-book by going to <www.Blurb.com> and either entering 'Donovan'
or 'Great Works Re-visited' in the search box. Don says that the paper-back
version would not only make a good Christmas pressy but it's also rather
inexpensive!
