Derek's Books
Derek's books were no longer in print following his death and for many years we hoped a publisher would be willing reprint them. Following an enquiry with us in 2014 a publisher finally did ask to reprint the books. We referred them to Derek's estate and were then fortunate to assist the publishers in reprinting the first four of Derek's books. Thus his work has been brought back into the present for new readers which, we hope, will result in a new generation of fans of ‘The Minack Chronicles’.
Constable & Robinson approached the webmaster of this site who assisted them in reprinting the first four titles of The Minack Chronicles. There were in fact no plates to reprint the books from and so the webmaster supplied personal copies of the books with which to enable the reprints.
These went on sale in February 2014.
Plans were in hand to reprint the next three titles along with three more later but shortly after the first four were reprinted Little, Green Books bought
Constable & Robinson and the three titles at the bottom of the page were subsequently put on hold till later 2020's/early 2030's.
