You're probably in more of a position to answer that question that we are if you work in a bookshop lol. I think they've probably made him a very wealthy man.

I know from working in WHSmiths that they would order in "only by demand". So they would order in say 25 books and when sold out would order more. I cannot say Derek's books sold out in my town, infact I saw them in the cut price book shop for 2.99 the other week.

page 150 of The psychic world Derek gives some good advice-he tells his readers to be careful who they pay money to because there are unscrupulous people in it for the money

I only work in 1 shop though wondered what the sales where like on the whole?
Does he write the books him-self just wondered where he finds the time to write all those, i will have a wee read at 1 tomorrow and see if he does and what they are like!
i know 2 people who went to see him recently they werent impressed but 1 said i bet he comes out in a white suit in the second half and he did! ;D ;D ;D

I have thought Derek's books of late to be quite repetitive.

It says on the book Derek Achora asserts the moral right to be called the author or something along those lines so what that means is anyones guess ive never heard that one before you either are or arn't, moral doesnt come into it

Do you think, being the fine stylist he is , that Derek employs the services of a 'ghost' writer?
