further to the P Riley, Keston move to larger books - there is a need
for some Collecteds is there not? To mention folk not on this list -
John James, Barry MacSweeney, Grace Lake (if the legendary boxes in
someone's garage produce a good yield), Maggie O'Sullivan etc etc [not
meaning to start a new list here, just briefly illustrate the need].
Those would be up in the order of 300+ pages. Does that sort of venture
have to be left for the "bigger" outfits, who are not exactly going to
trip over themselves for these writers? I recall from a long-ago
discussion on sizes of runs etc, that there may be little difference on
that scale between, eg, Carcanet & Stride, so that it becomes a matter
of will & hard work by the fewer for the few.
just a farthing's worth,
Pete.
