Dear Ms Dunlop, I am writing to enquire about the possibility of releasing Attis by Tom Holland (ISBN 10: 0749002131 / ISBN 13: 9780749002138) as an eBook. Although I realise the book is relatively obscure, I know several people who are extremely interested in reading it but are unable to find a copy. If it isn't too much work, it would be wonderful for new readers to be able to experience it.
On a related note, is it possible that Allison & Busby has any spare copies of the book? Again, perhaps a bit of an ask, but if you do, it would be great to be able to purchase them -- copies are currently going for upwards of £100 on second-hand book sites, and though it is a fantastic book, I think that's probably a bit steep.
Best wishes,
Hugh
hmmm so i looked up attis by tom holland after seeing your post and it looks Really Good and then the only copy I could find was 900 dollars on Amazon so how do i read it???(which i realize is kinda what ur post was about).
fhjghkhfjfhjggjhgh yeah attis is a cryptid book. @abernatty found some copies on abebooks for significantly less that $900 but still more than the actual price of the book. or you can go on worldcat and find the nearest copy in a library and see if you can get it on inter-library loans
this attis saga is really gripping me, how did you find out about the book?
through @catilinas, who ought to have the author pay them for how much effort they’ve gone into getting people to read the thing! i think they found it through a list of historical fiction recs
clodius says this
lauren @claudiaoctavia sent me a saturnalia postcard and in doing so made my parents read the words “clodius clownfucker pulcher”,
hypothetical attiscore post that juxtaposes shit like “staying up reading the writing in the margins of a history book about ancient cults” and all the other poetic/symbolic/philosophical shit with like. clowns. the fucking clowns
