Bloomsbury Publishing plc have just sold a copy of the very rare 1st edition of Mervyn Peake's Captain Slaughterboard which was first published in 1939. The remarkable figure of £1600 was achieved for this copy from the first edition most of which went up in flames in a fire at the warehouse where they were being stored.

Regular readers of this blog will be familiar with the energy and detail which Sebastian used to keep us up-to-date with any news of his father's work, particularly during the centenary year, 2011. His sudden death has been a great shock to his friends and family but the promotion of his father's work will continue under the guidance of his brother and sister, Fabian and Clare. I worked with Sebastian on the blog and will continue to add details of events and new publications as well as any other news when it becomes available. Alison Eldred
