Hi
My name is Liz and I work for Waverley Books, who published The History of the Beano, with D C Thomson. Lovely review – thank you. May I ask how you got hold of the book? We are looking at distribution in NZ but it’s expensive. Do you think there would be demand there? We have other titles too that would sell – the Maw Broon Cookbooks, which are Scottish through and through. Saint Publishing have offered to look at distribution. What do you think?
With best wishes
