Lorraine Williams and her family were still involved in the company (FWIH she was paying salaries out of her own pocket for those last few months in order to keep them employees, the company had absolutely no income).Not true, at least according to what I was told while I was working there. In 2E in the last days of TSR (1996), a "good-selling" new book was selling 5,000 copies. With 3E, a "good-selling" new book (and I'm not even talking the big hits like the 3 core books, the FRCS, and so on) was selling almost ten times that much. Clearly, that's better sales than before.</blockquote>
