"Film For The Collector" is a must have for anyone reading these posts! How many other magazines have a Super 8MM film review section? Subscriptions are available through Derann (who is also the publisher) and the cost for we Stateside folks is 22 pounds for 4 issues over a 15 month period. I know that comes to $11.00 an issue but where else can you read the prose of Keith Wilton, John Clancy, Barry Littlechild, Tom Photiou, Paul Adsett, and .....me? (Aside from this forum, of course!) The last issue even had a pic of Tony Milman, suitable for framing (The picture, not Tony).
e-mail gary@derann.co.uk for info.

I am still surprised how many people who collect film do not know much (or anything!) about Derann, this came to light to me at the recent BFCC in Ealing, when a man with a bag full of films came up to the Derann counter and asked who they were, and I believe it was Gary of Derann who went through the spiel about the lists and magazine etc. So after seeing that first hand, I'm not surprised that there are still collectors out there who do not know about FFTC, as it is produced, published and distributed by Derann, and from the next issue will be done all in-house, and yes as John Clancy suggested, I have done a column/article, but thankfully for ALL you collectors out their, the suggested idea of including a picture of myself was dropped, as the old "H" certificate would have had to be re-introduced here in the U.K.
All I can say to anyone who has yet to subscribe, then I urge you to do so, as there are many 8mm dealers who advertise only in FFTC, and you can never have too many dearlers numbers. Then there are the reviews of the latest releases, which are always fair and honest, together with articles and comments, this is a must for any 8mm collector. Contact Derann Film Services for the latest subscription prices, wherever you live.

Dear Kevin,
Well if you think about it, if someone has just come to 8mm collecting and has been buying mostly via ebay or the like, then perhaps it is possible not to know, perhaps he didn't realise Derann were still going, you think how many distributors have folded, but 2nd hand prints still exsist (Walton - Ken - Iver etc.), that may just be the simple reason, because if your not on a big dealers mailing lists, and Derann are only mentioned in passing, then perhaps this can explain it, still whatever the explanation, I was then, and I am still stunned, to think he didn't know who Derann was initially.
