Description
Total Loss has been on the Adlard Coles list for 23 years, and in March this year we
published a new edition in B format with a 'thriller' look. In two
months it has sold 886 copies. There was a lot of unused material left
over from it, plus some new total loss stories of yachts sunk, which
have happened since the book went to press. I'd like to get the author
working on a follow-up volume asap (he's a journalist and takes ages to
deliver - deadlines etc). We'd repeat the formula: thriller look,
low-priced impulse buy.
