Dear Sir/Ma'am,
I am writing to you from Laurentic Press. We recently
established ourselves as a small press, releasing "Who
Said the Race is Over?" - a collection of 54
semi-illustrated poems by Anno Birkin - as our first
title on December 9th. Anno, my dear friend, was
killed tragically in a car crash in Italy a couple of
years ago, just short of his 21st birthday. He left
behind a vast collection of poems and songs and "Who
Said the Race is Over?" is the initial offering.
The press was set up specifically to release this book
by myself and Anno's father, Andrew Birkin. We had a 5
page spread in the Mail on Sunday's "You" Magazine on
November 30th and they took 1000 copies of the book to
sell through the article. Two weeks later they had
sold out! We are now trying to get the book reviewed
wherever possible. All profits from the book are being
divided between two charities: the Great Ormond Street
Hospital and S.A.F.E. (Sponsored Arts for Education in
Africa).
I'm writing to you really to let you know about this
wonderful collection of poetry and to ask for your
advice/help with getting it out into the world. If you
would like further information, please do not hesitate
to contact me at this address and do please visit
www.anno.co.uk where you can read some of the poems
and buy the book.
I hope you do not mind my sending a universal email
like this, but it is for a very good cause and the
poetry is incredible!
Mant thanks for your time.
Gus Robertson
