They have an agreement with the Literary Executors of Ransome's estate, that allows them to publish material that would normally be unavailable, although on the condition that they only sell publications to Arthur Ransome Society members. The first publication was in 1991 and there is usually one substantial book produced each year, with a few special extras. The standard on content and production are high and print runs typically small, with most copies being sold by subscription prior to publication. Note on identifying first editions: To date, Amazon Publications has only ever produced one edition and printing of each title. |
