Sunk Without Trace

Total Loss has been on the Adlard Coles list for 23 years, and in March this year we

published a new edition in B format with a ''thriller'' look. In two

months it has sold 886 copies. There was a lot of unused material left

over from it, plus some new total loss stories of yachts sunk, which

have happened since the book went to press. I''d like to get the author

working on a follow-up volume asap (he''s a journalist and takes ages to

deliver - deadlines etc). We''d repeat the formula: thriller look,

low-priced impulse buy.
