Unfortunately there appears to be absolutely no interest in the new versions of The Red Paper (Canids or Felids) amongst fox people and certainly not from publishers who base what books they publish based on readings by their own writers who are, obviously, not going to push a book challenging what they are making money from.
The Red Paper (2010) has sold about 5 copies since 2010. The big problem is also that people are not buying from the secure online store but third party dealers and that means they are paying MORE for a copy (there is no such thing as "free post" its added to the book price).
Rather than get a decent profit after printers and print on demand company get their money (far more than I do) I 'earn' £2.75 for a major wildlife reference book that covers decades of work.
I have sent out more free copies than I have sold. £20.00 was cheap so now, as the new works look like they will never appear, I have put the price up to £25.00 and I am not even going to apologise for the price increase as no sales mean the research work has now ground to a halt and that's it.
So please do not ever tell me "it's a bit steep price wise".
