Bristol Classical Press

[John Dunn]

I am not sure how safe it is to assume that e-files for these books exist.  Leaving aside the possible disruption caused by multiple changes of ownership (Bristol Classical Press → Duckworth → Bloomsbury), it would seem that these editions are photographic reproductions of texts that first appeared several decades ago; some, indeed, first appeared under the Bradda Books imprint in the 1960s and 1970s.  It may therefore be a case not so much of being unhelpful as of being unable to help, not least because, as older readers of this list will recall, Bradda books tended to be printed in the GDR.*

*This was not that unusual.  Eastern-bloc printers were not only cheaper, but noted for the remarkable skill they had acquired in avoiding misprints.

Does anyone have a contact with Bristol Classical Press, now owned by
Bloomsbury Academic? I am trying to prepare materials for a partially sighted
student and our alternative format specialist has met with no success in asking
the publisher for the e-files (most publishers are happy to comply or to offer e-
texts in such a situation). Obviously all the texts are available online but it
seems a shame to discontinue using Bristol Classical Press books (with stress
marks and vocabulary) as we shall have to do.
