Maybe I'm wrong, but I really doubt that KLS will lose a "huge chunk" of sales because of those scans being posted on the Web/s.  If anything, I would think the scans will make more people aware of and curious about the book than would ever have heard of it otherwise.

In this day and age, having content on the Web doesn't keep consumers from buying your product.  She should view it as part of getting the book promoted.  Lots of people browse books in bookshops without ever going to the cash register and making a purchase.  Having a couple of images available online is really no different than having copies of the book out on a table for customers to examine.  OK, so in an extreme case an individual may print that photo out and put it in their personal scrapbook (or more likely add it to an online file of DS memorabilia), but I bet that the person who would do that would also want a copy of the physical book for their collection.  Particularly if they're a DS fan in the first place, as we're being told there are so many new photos from the golden days published in this volume.

Just my take on it.  Of course I do feel sorry for her anguish, but I think in some ways she is out of touch with how the Internet works vis-a-vis commerce.

I'd really like to hear from someone, preferably a seasoned fan from these boards, as to whether the new book really does have some rare, good quality photos we haven't seen before.    I'd still like to browse the book before I spend good money on it.

Whoa!  *jaw drops*

I really wasn't prepared for JLM's neon-blond wiglet.

Maybe the party is for Carolyn's birthday this time around?

And once again, who fails to show up?  Bella Heathcote!  Is *her* role to be a cameo?

OK, now I'm actually liking the latest Helena/Julia ensemble/hair. The clipped version made me think she was wearing a French peasant blouse.  This is a very new look for Julia, and I wonder what Grayson would have thought of the hint of cleavage.  But, it works.

Thanks for posting that link.  I walked right by the new issue of Vanity just a few minutes ago but didn't bother to look at the actual "article" as I presumed it was just the photos and that they were as seen in the scans.

Ugh, I wish he had found someone other than Pierson to interview about DS.

Why don't any of these journos interview our very own Mysterious Benefactor??

I agree, Philippe.  I really hope the entire movie is not written as those dialogue excerpts imply, but at this point, I feel very neutral about the whole thing.

Uncle Roger, oh how I wish the clip of Grayson with Anthony George and Nancy Barrett could be included as an extra on one of the MPI discs!  I wasn't going to the Festivals back when they ran it.

At least this episode has appeared and perhaps we'll see more.  I have noticed over the past couple of years that more and more episodes of OLTL from this period are coming out of the mothballs.  Most of them are much better quality than this one.
