Peter S. Beagle - The Last Unicorn and Conlan Press

Reposting this from my old blog, since I think it's important.

I've been a fan of The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle (the movie and the book) for a very long time. Recently, I stumbled across the info that Peter Beagle receives ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from any sales of the movie DVDs from anywhere other than the Conlan Press website. The companies involved pay Peter no royalties at all!

Quote from the site:

"In the meantime, back in February 2007 something VERY IMPORTANT happened — Lionsgate Entertainment released a special 25th Anniversary DVD of THE LAST UNICORN. This new edition is a huge improvement over the old one. It is digitally remastered so it looks great and has 5.1 audio, it is widescreen instead of fullscreen, it has much better packaging, and it comes with special features, including a video interview with Peter. Best of all, Lionsgate has agreed to let us sell copies of the DVD through Conlan Press, and more than half of each sale will go straight to Peter and his projects. If you plan on buying this DVD, please buy it here — because Peter will get nothing from copies sold through any other outlet."

Here's a direct link to where you can buy the DVD. You can even get it signed by the author for $10 extra.

There are also lots of other goodies on the Conlan Press site - they're selling copies of Peter's books (all of which you can also get signed), a new book (We Never Talk About My Brother - a collection of short stories), beautiful art prints, and a subscription to Peter's new 52/50 project. Peter himself gets a sizable portion of the profits from each sale.

I am not at all affiliated with Peter Beagle or the Conlan Press site; just a fan trying to spread the word.
