Comments and Reviews


ppint. 27th Apr 2019		a mish-mash of a story with merkin movie horror fantasy elements too; for all i know this was written with hollywood/new york banks' film money men as strongly in mind as it appears. during the course of the break-up of the disgraced ennobled owner's publishing empire, including the times newspaper, and medical and legal publishers, and philips (atlases and globes - hence the "sphere" imprint) sphere books ltd. was sold off to penguin books / the pearson group, who hung onto it for a fairly short while before selling it - bereft of a few gems or perceived gems, including the michael joseph imprint once an independent publisher, and marion (zimmer) bradley's arguedly more-or-less feminist "arthurian" tome, "the mists of avalon", q.v. - on to warner books (uk)'s expanding empire based upon the late fraudster, robert maxwell's macdonald/futura/orbit publishers. . . (warner group's since sold off its entire merkin & uk publishing empire to hachette livres or their owners/controllers lagadère - but it's all become a game of monopoly for the ultra-rich and megawealthy, and seriously powerful. . .)
