		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for covering this initiative. It was a lot of work, but we thought it was worth it to get our customers these discounts. We decided that the loss in prestige, in having Sequart no longer listed as publisher, was worth it if we could do this.

For the record, we don&#039;t consider the older editions &quot;obsolete.&quot; Their contents are almost identical, although in a different font and paginated slightly differently. Outside of a few images added to two books and the modifications made for the third edition of Grant Morrison: The Early Years. But yes, these old editions are now overpriced.

We hope retailers will contact us. We really don&#039;t know who&#039;s got a Sequart library sitting on their shelves. We are very much still a mom and pop, and we really don&#039;t want any store to be punished for supporting Sequart!

As to what we&#039;re doing in such cases, it so happens that we have lots of copies of four old editions still in stock. So our solution to this problem is that any store can take a photo of their unsold Sequart books, and we&#039;ll ship an equal number from our stock to them for free. They can request which of our in-stock titles they want, and we&#039;ll ship more than an equal number of books if their combined cover price is lower than what they have in stock. This way, affected retailers will get (at least) two for the price of one (and potentially some diversity of offerings), and stores can feel free to discount as they wish, without concern for losing money. Everyone wins.

And yes, we&#039;re still doing that Transmet book! It&#039;s just been delayed. I&#039;m sorry you haven&#039;t heard back, and I&#039;ll look into it.]]></description>
