[Next production] Dornford Yates - Perishable Goods

[Robin Whittleton]

Seeing as The Wolf-Leader is basically ready and I’m still waiting on the British Library to scan “Trooping With Crows’, I put together the second Chandos novel yesterday. It’s a direct continuation from the first book, set six months later, and features the return of the progonists’ nemesis “Rose” Noble. It’s only 66k words so shouldn’t take me long.

I’ve removed the quotes from “Rose” as per the first book. Apart from that it looks like a fairly basic production. I’ve started proofreading it, will come up with cover art afterwards (maybe Courbet will have something suitable again?).

The scans I’ve chosen have a frontispiece illustration of a castle that’s referenced in the middle of the book. It’s more of a diagram than most frontispieces, but I don’t think it’s worth keeping. An easy add if people disagree.

I agree you can cut the frontispiece
