Tal and greetings,
Here's an update on the letter writing campaign. I received a rather
generic
reply to my letter today. Here's what it said:
_________________________________
Dear Mr. XXXXXXX
Thank you for your letter. You'll be glad to know that we are putting all
25
GOR novels back into print, as well as making them available as e-books.
You may keep yourself informed by watching our website
http://www.ereads.com
All the best,
RICHARD CURTIS
__________________________________
I'm thinking I'll send Mr. Curtis another letter thanking him for his
response and asking about *when* we might expect to see the books,
especially "Witness" and "Prize".
I wish you well,
Lemuel of the Builders
