Hello

So, the first issue of Alligator Stew is complete. I began mailing contributor copies out this week and I hope to make copies available for purchase for about two weeks time. Each copy has a Russian Green Card cover, with illustration printed on photo paper and mounted within a black velvet frame. It has a sewn binding and smells of rolled cigarettes and cheap red wine.

The following writers appear in the first issue, some of them you may recognise:

Father Luke
Harry Calhoun
David Barker
Dave Donovan
James Farrugia
Stephen Hines
Lexxi Stone
Richard Wink
Jenifer Wills
Justin Grimbol
Aleathia Drehmer
Colin McGuire
Jeff Fleming
justin.barrett
Guy Sayan
Vincent Turner

There are also illustrations by Stephen Hines, Marcus Hooper and Tessa Metcalfe.

As a number of the writers spend (or have spent) time around these parts, I wanted to gauge how much interest there would be in this chapbook from members of this website. Due to the time involved in hand producing each copy, an idea of numbers would be very helpful to stockpile in advance of the shop opening! My partner has told me I'm not allowed to produce more than 50 copies for sale (seeing as she is doing the sewing I can't argue).

I haven't confirmed yet, but the price will be approximately £2.50+£1.00 P&P to the UK, $4.00+$3.00 P&P to the US, and €3.00+€1.50 to the rest of Europe.

Anyway, let me know either by PM, or just respond to this thread. No cash required upfront, just naked pictures of your wives/girlfriends/girl next door

Thanking you
Mr Lally

So if I send you a U.S. Postal Money Order for ten dollars you can mail one to my P.O. box?

Hello Nick

well, I'm going to be putting a PayPal shop on my website in the near future. I'd rather take payments that way to keep things simple, but if you can't do it that way let me know and I'm sure we can sort something out.

Thanking you

Okay, Mr L, I got a Pay pal rig set up. Will you be announcing at Mary your readiness to receive payments or do we need to be checkin' your site?

I'll post here to let you all know. Unfortunately, my new window has been leaking which is causing delays to production. I'm sending each copy as soon as it's produced, but I'll post a pic of the cover as soon as the next one's finished (all being well, later tonight).

Thanks for the interest Nick

Well, I'm about to crack on with making some more, but at the moment you have one more copy than me!

Shame you live over the pond, you need work, I need workers (my girlfriend is threatening early retirement)

Ok, so it's a story of two halves. Before Christmas there are 20 copies for sale. Post Christmas there will be another 20 available.

So far I've received payment for 6 of the 20, leaving 14 available for Christmas. If you want one of these, either email me at alligatorstew@post.com,
or send payment through Paypal to the same address.

If you've already received a copy, please feel free to comment on how beautiful it is!

The prices are as follows and include postage:

£4.25 to UK
£5.00 to USA/Canada
£5.00 to Rest of Europe

Sorry I haven't been around much lately, but this first issue has taken my life away!

Hope you're all well

The dollar equivalent is about $8.00, but to keep things simple I'm asking that people choose to pay in the Queens money through Paypal, otherwise I gotsta work out Euros, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, number of goats, etc.

I just got another two sales this morning, so by my calculation that leaves about 6 left of the pre-Christmas run.

I'm going to say this again:

I have a copy of this. It is, by far, among my top prized possessions in the small press publication world. The chap is on high quality paper, with the devotion and workmanship as plain as the air you breathe. The workmanship is absolutely stunning, and the quality of work inside honors the workmanship. It is a very fine chap book.

I'm going to go chat it up on Facebook. Did you know there is also a Facebook page for this rag?

There is. Right here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Alligator-Stew/208713819347
