Transcript 

Sean:   First of all, the book re-launch. I just wanted to remind everybody that we 

will be re-launching the fairy-tales range with new modern covers, and 

that this is going to happen at the beginning of next month. It's important 

that we get this right and there have been quite a few…  

John:   Actually Sean, can I just ask you – sorry to hold the meeting up – can I ask 

you about those dates, because I thought that this was going to be 

published the month after next, and I understand that everybody has got 

their dates, but I do feel quite strongly that we’re bringing this out too 

soon.  

Sean:   Well, any other thoughts before I comment on that?   

Carrie:  I don’t think we’ve got any choice at all about it. If the radio programmes 

are going out at the beginning of next month, we’ve got to launch the book 

at the same time if we’re going to have any sales impact.
