Hello, All, The Brian R. Price Wikipedia page has been updated, and no, it wasn't me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_R_Price Someone (not I) edited the title of the page to insert a period after his middle initial, which changed the link. It can now be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br...

Hello, All, After my post this past Saturday morning, here, asking, among other things, what had happened to the deposits made by people in anticipation of the publication of Bob Charron's book (among others), Talbot was kind enough to forward the post to Kristi Charron (thank you, Talbot!), who the...

Lady Charlotte

Hello, Christian, Thank you for the correction and clarification. I agree with you that this data doesn't however, change the substance of the overall discussion: if Mr. Price could have had his printer do a short run -- such as only the 900 copies he ultimately decided to sell, plus the 20 copies f...

Lady Charlotte

Hello, Michail, The company I work for does short run book publishing. Either perfect bound, saddle stitch or hardcover, of runs from 25 to 1000. Just wanted to put it out there that there are companies doing short run books. Most of our business is unedited proofs for larger companies, or books for...

Lady Charlotte

Hello, Jeff Richardson, I don't know, of course, what Chivalry Bookshelf's standard practice has been for minimum print runs, but I know of no printers that will print runs of fewer than 1,000 copies offset, because the cost per copy would be prohibitively expensive. Moreover, the first print run of...

Lady Charlotte

Hello, All, As recently as yesterday morning I'd thought that after 22+ pages and then-nearly 800 posts made to this thread nothing more could possibly be revealed about "The Continuing Misadventures of Brian R. Price" that could send my lower jaw crashing into my keyboard -- yet again -- but, silly...

Hello, Aerimus13, I would heartily recommend that attendees of Gulf Wars make their displeasure known, in a clear and gentlemanly manner as possible. No vitriol, no hate, no hurtful or angry words. Just send a simple message, give the authors their due. Make good to those you have wronged. Should pe...

Lady Charlotte

Hello, Vitus, Galleron, beware of the decadent pleasures of kicking persons in the nuts after they have clearly shown themselves to be worthy of having said nuts kicked. I understand your point and, where appropriately applicable, agree with it, but what if said person is continuing to steal from th...

Lady Charlotte

Hello, Galleron, And since this review began with a request for one of Brian Price's books, here is a review of his Book of the Tournament http://willscommonplacebook.blogspot.com/2011/03/book-of-tournament.html You've outdone yourself -- this is the second time in a matter of weeks that you've made...

Lady Charlotte

Hello, Cuan, I agree with the views expressed in your more recent post, above, and appreciate your willingness to stand publicly for them. I would like to clarify one thing, though, as it pertains to this: The SCA is not liable for damages suffered by artisans or authors resulting from Mr. Price's a...

Lady Charlotte

Hello, Johnathan, That said, there is also considerable potential liability to an organization that fails to take action against a "bad actor" if any of its officers knows of misbehavior that may harm others and fails to act to protect those placed at risk. That is only if the corporate entity is aw...

Lady Charlotte

Hello, Aerimus13, That really does not matter. If you are stand around and profess that you uphold chivalric ideals then it is your duty to out a wrong when you see it not wait until you hear stories from other people who got screwed like you. it is said he is a "peer" in the SCA then why didn't the...

Lady Charlotte

Hello, Vitus, Brian has refunded the money for the defective gauntlets. I hope he can somehow make amends to everyone he has pissed off. This has all been sad and depressing in the extreme. "A coat is given to a Knight in order to symbolize the great ordeals that he must suffer in order to honor chi...

Lady Charlotte

Hello, Count Johnathan, HG Gavin sums it up well with this... It's also important to understand that when it comes to matters that involve violation of actual laws, rather than SCA regulations, the SCA practice is to allow the legal machinery to reach a conclusion before any SCA sanctions are impose...

Lady Charlotte

Hello, Count Johnathan, Aerimus13, SCA peerage is not a legal system and has nothing to do with the private business practices of any individual. Sounds like you simply have some sort of beef with peers. That, we cannot help you with. Brian was a peer long before any of these kinds of business pract...

Hello, Greg, 5. failure to provide one cent of compensation to Agilitas.tv for the Messer or Longsword DVDs, and failure to return the master-copies they have provided Mr Price for replication. That is why Agilitas have now placed their products with Freelance Academy Press. After reading about Gall...

Lady Charlotte

Hello, Gaston, Greg, your assertion that Brian never accepts fault isn't accurate: I have always said that chivalry is not a matter of acting with perfection (although I wish I were better at it), but is rather a question of making suitable amends after a wrong has occurred. Some of the things that ...

Lady Charlotte

Hello, Luca, But perhaps clinical diagnosis could be left to an expert. :? Perhaps you missed my explicit, if humorous, disclaimer to be offering a clinical diagnosis: ...not that I'm a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist, nor do I play one on TV. ;) Had I been attempting offer Louis -- who had as...

Hello, Galleron, In Chronique Issue #10, Brian price reprinted my copyrighted illustrations from Elizabeth Bennett's translation of King Rene's Tournament Book without attribution or my permission, on pages 37, 43, and 60. You can see the the illustrations here: http://www.princeton.edu/~ezb/rene/re...

Lady Charlotte

Hello, Louis, I agree with you. Although Louis de Leon had suggested that people here read the description of a psychopath at the link he'd provided, above, in my opinion Mr. Price's behavior is classically that of someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder: Perhaps so. But some of the bullet po...

Hello, Doorman, Lady Charlotte, Could you direct me to a place I can find out more information about the Harper Collins incident? Your comment piqued my interest. Thanks. Certainly. There's Moore's own contemporaneous summary here: BUZZFLASH: Now specifically, a little bit about your book. You've wr...

Hello, "John Smith", You people should be ashamed of yourselves. Every man has an inalienable right to life, liberty, a Jaguar, an Escalade, Mcmansion, collection of rare books and artifacts, and to use other people's works without compensation or credit. :x Indeed, I suppose the Chivalry Bookshelf ...

Lady Charlotte

Hello, Mike F, Such a lawsuit will take months or years and cost a large sum of money. At the end of the suit the judge can make decisions very similar to what you describe, or any other terms (within legal limits) to make sure the debts are paid but the payer isn't bled dry. It comes down to what t...

Lady Charlotte

Hello, Christian, This thread has gone in directions, and uncovered information, that were beyond my expectations. Thanks in particular to Lady Charlotte, for uncovering just how creepy some of it really is. You are most welcome, and I'm not quite done yet. ;) Unfortunately, as some relayed back-cha...

Hello, Colin, Following Brianâ€™s resignation, the Board of Directors held an emergency meeting to discuss his departure and to address two urgent matters that had also come to the Boardâ€™s attention through postings on the internet. The first concerned a loss of corporate status in the state of Te...

Lady Charlotte

Hello, Gaston de Vieuxchamps (to distinguish you from the Gaston who earlier defended Mr. Price), As to the standard of living thing, can anyone here confirm one way or the other whether or not he also owns a plane?

Hello, Dietrich, Thank you Lady Charlotte. That is indeed of help. Although the nearest copy is about 400 miles away from me, I've provided advice and resources to a lot of people on the internet re: SCA greatsword fighting, and I will use the link you provided me, as future inquirers may have a cop...

Lady Charlotte

Hello, Gaston, Hrolfr- I feel they're fundamentally different. Madoff created a pyramid scheme whose intent from the beginning was simply to make himself a ton of money at the expense of others. I think with Brian he started out with the best of intentions. He wanted to share some great historical w...

Hello, Marco, I've been debating for the last 24 hours whether to respond to this post of yours and, if so, how, especially since Mr. Holland has explained that the SSG's remaining directors are now looking into the various issues concerning SSG's status. I have no wish to belabor anything relating ...

Hello, juan, Schola folks are aware. There's a number of us on the Archive. For instance, I am a member, and so is Brandr, who BTW is the SSG treasurer. It should also be pointed out, in light of what Lady Charlotte, that the SSG has just been granted federal 503 tax-exempt status, which doesn't hap...
