That 1st little book, History of Preston; An Introduction (right) had just 32 pages, all in black & white, and had a retail price of 95p. Alistair confidently had 2, 000 copies run off by local printer, T. Snape & Co. And with no distribution system save a moderately rusty bicycle, the 1st print run was hawked around the main Preston bookshops. An article about the venture in the Lancashire Evening Post stimulated so much interest that within a couple of weeks all 2, 000 copies were sold, and another 3, 000 printed.
