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.
