Note From The Publisher

This website is temporarily closed. Due to ill health, new projects and other challenges, I am in the process of restructuring Hirst Publishing, and will re-open by September with a revised range and a new business model, which will ensure a vastly improved service to customers, suppliers and authors.

The site www.hirstbooks.com is temporarily unavailable but will be up and running again soon.

Over the next two weeks I will be working hard to fulfil all outstanding orders and resolve all outstanding issues and I am sorry for the frustration experienced by some customers.

SHOWADDYWADDY FANS - Dave Bartram’s book has been cancelled and refunds are being processed.

DOCTOR WHO FANS – If you have an order already on our system, I can assure you it will be processed very soon.  If you wish to place a new order, I would urge you to contact one of our retail partners – Galaxy Four, The Who Shop, Tenth Planet or www.culttvandfilm.com

TANTILLY FANS – With the help of backer Bill Brummel, the final cut should be released as scheduled. Mr. Brummel is a huge fan of Tantilly and has kept this project afloat for the past several years. And that effort is about to pay off. Stay tuned.

IN SEARCH OF NOTHING – A short form serious look at the concept of "nothingness" and the fraught history of the philosopher class regarding an idea that runs from "nothing" to God through logical reasoning. To read it, click here.

OTHER NEW TITLES: Both "You and Who" and Brad Jones's Novel will be available very soon.

For all other titles, please contact the author directly or email [email protected]

I am appreciative of your support and custom and patience as ever - If you wish to order one of our books you are welcome to do so from this site but you WILL have await of a few weeks.
