BFS Awards

The 2012 British Fantasy Awards are announced on Sunday afternoon, following the banquet. We here have our fingers crossed for Peter Atkins' Rumours of the Marvellous, up for the Best Collection Award.

FantasyCon launch

The FantasyCon weekend is almost upon us. Don't forget, we give The Alchemy Press Book of Ancient Wonders and The Alchemy Press Book of Pulp Heroes its official launch:

When: 10.00 am, Saturday

Where: The Rouge Bar

Come along and say hello!

OOP and low stock

The Paladin Mandates by Mike Chinn is now out of print.

I had also declared Shadows of Light and Dark, by Jo Fletcher, as OOP, but half-a-dozen copies have turned up (found mixed in with some other titles). Beneath the Ground by Joel Lane is now close to being sold out -- about a dozen copies remain in stock. If you are interested in either of these books, act now. Email us at alchemypress[at]gmail.com for details.

Birmingham Book Fair

Thank you to everyone who visited the Alchemy Press table at last Sunday's Birmingham Independent Book Fair -- and a bigger thanks to those who bought one of our books. The day was a great success: met up with old friends and make new contacts. Now we are trying to catch up with outstanding issues. The above photo shows our table alongside that for Snow Books.

Buying Alchemy Press books

The latest Alchemy Press books are available via several online dealers, including Amazon UK and US, Barnes and Noble and The Book Depository.

To buy these books visit the relevant pages:

The Alchemy Press Book of Ancient Wonders

The Alchemy Press Book of Pulp Heroes

Sex, Lies and Family Ties

Ancient Wonders: links to dealers

Contributor copies of The Alchemy Press Book of Ancient Wonders, edited by Jan Edwards and Jenny Barber, will be mailed out in the next few weeks. Some copies will be available this Sunday at the Birmingham Book Fair. Otherwise, the official launch is at FantasyCon at the end of September. But if you live in the USA and you wish to purchase the book you can do so via Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com.

Sex, Lies and Family Ties by Sarah J Graham is already available via Amazon. But come and see us on 9th September at the Birmingham Independent Book Fair and buy a copy directly from the publisher.

Where the Bodies are Buried

Kim Newman's Where the Bodies are Buried is still available. You can order directly from The Alchemy Press, here, or via Amazon.co.uk. Amazon says it is out of stock -- it never had stock -- but lists The Alchemy Press as a supplier.

Only £14.00 plus p&p. Can't be bad.

FantasyCon book launch

To remind you, The Alchemy Press is launching two new titles at FantasyCon 2012.

Independent Book Fair

The Birmingham Independent Book Fair is scheduled for 9 September, from 11.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m.:

“Browse, buy and discover new books, many of which are not available on the high street.

This day-long event will feature independent publishers from the West Midlands and beyond, offering you the chance to buy books directly from the publishers, who will be on hand to answer questions and introduce you to new writing. From poetry pamphlets to prose fiction, graphic novels to science fiction and fantasy, a wide range of forms and genres will be represented. The fair is free and all are welcome!”

Rooms 3 & 4, Council House, Victoria Square, Birmingham, B1 1BB

The Alchemy Press will be there selling copies of Rumours of the Marvellous, Beneath the Ground, Sex, Lies and Family Ties, Swords Against the Millennium… and we hope to have preview copies of The Alchemy Press Books of Pulp Heroes and Ancient Wonders.

If you are in the area, come along and say hello.
