Or help.
Posted by Dax (Member # 191) on :
I'd love to see Unseen Frontier but I couldn't give a stuff about the Voy TM.
Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
I am just the opposite.
Well, not totally. I'd give a stuff or two for a big fancy Star Trek picture book like Unseen Frontiers.

I did it. Have you?
Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :
This is the wrong way to go about this.
Two years ago, there was a big push by certain elements to get a "Captain Sulu" book contracted for and published.
The biggest gun, Editor John Ordover, said that if he could get 1000 (or maybe it was 10,000, but I don't think so) individually addressed WRITTEN (not emailed) letters in favor of a Sulu book, by a certain date, that would demonstrate a sizeable market for such a book and it would be contracted for, written, and published.
That drive failed, but I would be willing to wager that the Unseen Frontiers book might prove more popular and idea.
If you propose it, and they agree, then you might have a chance. If they agree to run the race, I will most definitely send a letter.
None at all! Continue berating a man who has nothing to do with it until we get some answers.

Sounds like fun. Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :
I don't think that this book is Marco's baby. I'm not sure whose it is, John's or Margaret's. That's why I asked over at psiphi. Still waiting for a useful response.

i got an email saying this is a margret question so there ya go Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :
So ask Margaret then.
Good luck getting her to reply. I've heard it isn't easy...
Posted by Dr. Phlox (Member # 878) on :
I know she posts at Trek BBS sometimes, I'll have a go there some time.
Posted by RichKnapp (Member # 892) on :
I have tried to contact her several times with regards to "Unseen Frontiers" with no response. Does anyone know of anyone else at Pocket Books we can contact?
Bests, Rich

I don't think it makes a lot of sense to write e-mails to these people. I rather agree that something like the letter writing campaign for the "Captain Sulu" book could be more successful - if we get enough people to actually do it and not just talk about their willingness.
Posted by Capped In Mic (Member # 709) on :
i think that, as a deterrent to future letter writing campaigns, they tried to convince us that wasnt the way by making every book with Captain Sulu in it complete shit. Ever try to sit through "Cacophony"?! I'm like, i wrote a letter for this?

They had to be written letters, not e-mails didn't they? That sort of thing would be a lot harder to accomplish.
Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :
It would be and it was. The letter-writing campaign fell short... but there's been more support expressed for this book.
Cap'n Mike... that would only make sense if Cacophony had been put out after the writing campaign, rather than way before, which is what it was.
Posted by O Captain Mike Captain (Member # 709) on :
yeah, i was lying. i didnt even write a letter. probably cuz i dont give a shit.
but cacophony still sucked! and letter writing campaigns dont really work.
Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
I disagree. A properly run campaign can tip the scales in one direction or another if a decision is in much dispute. Mind you, I don't think it can, say, revive the dead.
Posted by O Captain Mike Captain (Member # 709) on :
yes, many were disappointed by the failure of the 'Bring Back Gene' campaign.
i suppose now would be a bad time to point out that, even though Trek fans are proud of their activities, the letter writing campaigns of the 60s didnt do much in the way of influencing the networks to keep the show on the air, and were (mostly) staged by Roddenberry for publicity

I'm drawing a blank on this, while I'm a natural born cynic... Out of curioity then, we need examples to discuss, preferably from outside Star Trek.
