Beyond the Mauve Zone - republication imminent

[Michael Staley]

Beyond the Mauve Zone is in the final stages of preparation. The text has been freshly typeset, and the Index is now being updated to take account of the new pagination. Preparations are on course for the book to go to the printers in early February, for publication in March.

The recent launch-day in London to mark the publication of Henrik Bogdan's Kenneth Grant: A Bibliography was extremely successful, with an interesting array of talks during the day and some fascinating artefacts on view during the evening launch-party. The republication of The Ninth Arch in Summer will mark the culmination of the programme to restore to print all volumes of the Typhonian Trilogies, and there will be another launch-day to mark that happy event.

BTMZ has long been one of those "White Whales" for many Grant enthusiasts, a book difficult to find and quite costly in its scarcity. It is absolutely wonderful that this (quite epic) tome is due to re-appear in our Circles of Time!

And-as with all the KG reprints we've seen thus far-we can expect some of those wonderful "extras" which welcome us all into a fresh re-reading.
