I was able to produce each disc for a cost of twenty pounds by ordering five hundred copies and after that each would only cost 2.50 pounds. I redesigned all my literature and decided to trade under 'Actuality PhotoDigital'. So once again as a photo library distributor I had yet another hat!

 

Dunns were very impressed, and they took on distribution of it too! I was really honoured when later they chose me to do some promotional pictures for them, as a top well-established film processing place, they had numerous other professional photographers as clients, yet they came to me.

I did a deal with a Chinese distributor he paid me up-front 1,000 pounds plus an agreed royalty payment of one pound for each book sold, but I did not think I would ever see any royalty payments! This was for permission to publish 'PhotoBackings 100' in print, all the background images were printed A3 size as high-definition prints, in a hardbound cover for the Chinese market.

Apparently, most of the Chinese were not able to use CD-ROMs. I duly received a few complimentary copies and after a year, to my surprise, he sent me 1,500 pounds more as Royalty fees.
