What happened to these?

Couldn't SRGC publish it, doing so would fit in well with the aims and objectives? Could be worth exploring further.

[David Shaw]

David, book publishing is a special skill and not a project to be undertaken lightly. Publishing and promoting a mongraph like this would take a lot of time and effort for a small company. The SRGC does have one person capable of undertaking the task but I don't think that she is in the least bit interested. To be frankly honest, if a company like Timber Press are not interested, then the probability is that the book is not very saleable.

OK 'twas just a thought.

I'm afraid David Shaw is right. Times have changed since 1982 & even with its beautiful colour plates, I doubt that BM's monograph would find a publisher today. Twenty or thirty years ago publishers could rely on substantial sales to institutional libraries of monographs but these days  such libraries don't have the funds for unnecessary or  "luxury" purchases.  Glossy picturebooks which sell to the general public are what publishers want now, not scholarly monographs.

Thats not so bad - I can contribute a bit to a glossy picture-book - just need to piggy-back the important stuff in from Germany without the publishers noticing.  A bit like The Great Escape - only hopefully the success rate will be higher

There is always the option of a CD/DVD book

Go for it Tony.
