I was so excited when I saw the new Century 21 Annual 2011 on Amazon! Alas that initial glee has turned to dissapointment as my order has been cancelled since Amazon can't get hold of the book. Has anybody got one or was it never published? Shame, the cover looked brilliant and even featured Zero-X!
The publishers, Reynolds & Hearn, went into liquidation so it was never published. However, Marcus Hearn may be helming continuing volumes of the Century 21 reprint volumes with another publisher, with Titan distributing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Shaqui. That's cleared that up. Amazon have updated their site as well. Were sales of the TV21 reprints not as good as was hoped do you think or were they another victim of the recession I wonder?
ReplyDeleteThe books sold well but R & H were just an unfortunate company it seems. Thankfully Marcus has gone it alone and has many contacts in the industry and the books will continue. Initially a special edition reprint volume, or two, with some new stuff and then further volumes. The annual is always on the minds of the guys behind it all but just not this time sadly

Fabulous news Jim! Excellent! I may get that Annual for Xmas after all! Fab!
ReplyDeleteI believe the 'Annual' concept is still on hold for the moment but the reprints themselves are a goer!
