Following close on the heels of the announcement that Mainspring is ceasing its book publishing operation, comes this:

Sad news indeed.

That's terrible, and sad news.

Oh no. Even though the internet has provided us with an avenue to access so much information, there is nothing like sitting down with a book.

I feel fortunate that I was able to buy pretty much all of the books mainspring published over the years. What a shame that the remaining stock was destroyed.

A tragic thing. I saw pictures of the mess. So sad. And I agree with others that are sad about the loss of the books. I don't find online reading to be a very good replacement for an actual book. At least the information will still be there in one form or another. But, this is the end of an era and a great loss to the hobby.

It’s sad, all we have left is Mulholland Press.

I think interest in the hobby has been dwindling down for years. It’s sad.
