More news on the Peter S. Beagle front

Conlan Press is offering authorized, autographed, widescreen 25th anniversary editions of The Last Unicorn, with 50% of the proceeds going directly to Peter S. Beagle.


Peter S. Beagle has been dicked out of profits owed to him by two production companies. First for the screenplay of the animated Lord of the Rings, and then for the original animated version of The Last Unicorn. The web page has changed and all the details about Granada Media's fiasco over The Last Unicorn has been removed - Connor, I know you linktrack so you'll probably see this - what the hell is up with that? Did you have to take it down due to the negotiations with Granada? The only thing up is the Lord of the Rings fiasco, and that's kind of confusing. The Granada FAQ is still up.

Another reason to purchase from Conlan Press, if the autographed copy wasn't enough incentive - they've said they won't let their titles go out of print.

Also? It'd make an awesome holiday gift for a fantasy fan.
