Bodston SUBS 24th Jul 2022		Book Captain John W. A. Masters - The Story Of The 2nd Battalion The Sherwood Foresters 1939-1945 (1946)	I no longer own this book. I sold it to a veteran of the Regiment's grand-daughter who found me and my copy of the book through this forum, by searching the internet. A great result, all round.
Bodston SUBS 28th Apr 2022		Book Jonny Trunk - A Z Record Shop Bags (2022)	Early copies featured a card slipcase. Available on Record Store Day 2022. Copies bought direct from Jonny Trunk came with a selection of postcards and a Record bag from his collection (while stocks lasted). Also available direct from the publisher.
Bodston SUBS 3rd Feb 2022		Book Raymond Briggs - When The Wind Blows (1983)	Black humour, certainly.
Bodston SUBS 4th Nov 2021		Book Robyn Hitchcock - Somewhere Apart: Selected Lyrics 1977 (2021)	Mine is a signed copy. The back of the dust jacket is the same as the front.
Bodston SUBS 17th Oct 2021		Book Jonny Trunk - Auto Erotica (2021)	My copy included a Mix CDr by Jonny Trunk as a Kickstarter pledge. One and a quarter hours of uncredited auto related songs and car advertisements in the Jonny Trunk style of his annual Christmas mix discs.
Bodston SUBS 26th Nov 2020		Book The Ministry Of Information - By Air To Battle (1945)	Added my beautiful leather bound ex-library copy, courtesy of Newport reference library.
Bodston SUBS 25th Nov 2020		Book The Ministry Of Information - Coastal Command (1942)	With a nod to Rock n Roll 16, slightly tidier cover scan, and the missing back cover added.
Bodston SUBS 23rd Aug 2020		Book Engines Of War - Adam & Charles Black (1942)	My copy has remnants of the dust jacket remaining.
Bodston SUBS 13th Aug 2020		Book The Ministry Of Information - Roof Over Britain (1943)	The author, although not listed in the book is Anthony Cotterell
Bodston SUBS 13th Aug 2020		Book B. H. Liddell Hart - The Rommel Papers (1953)	My book contained a covering letter to a reviewer, signed by the editor. Indicating a presentation copy.
Bodston SUBS 12th Aug 2020		Book Various Authors - Operation Tonga (2014)	I was a bit annoyed about this book when I got it home, as it is ostensibly the same as this book 'One Night In June'. Nowhere in this book does it mention the earlier edition. Even the Authors copyright date is given as 2014. If anything this edition is the inferior, as it removes some of the appendices of the earlier book.
Bodston SUBS 10th Aug 2020		Book Gun Buster - Battle Dress (1942)	Mine is the February 1942 edition, and minus the dust jacket.
Bodston SUBS 5th Aug 2020		Book The Story Of 79th Armoured Division - 79th Armoured Division (1945)	Beautifully presented History of Percy Hobart's eccentric Division. Coloured fold-out maps and pin sharp photographs. This volume carries a 'Restricted' sticker on the title page, with a warning not to divulge the contents, either to the press or any other unauthorised person. So still an official secret so soon after the war.
Bodston SUBS 5th Aug 2020		Book Taurus Pursuant: A History Of 11th Armoured Division - 11th Armoured Division (1945)	Dust-jacket missing.
Bodston SUBS 5th Aug 2020		Book B. H. Liddell Hart - The Tanks: 1939-1945 (1959)	Missing its dust-jacket
Bodston SUBS 30th Jul 2020		Book Sir Albert Stern - Tanks 1914-1918 (1919)	My copy is not in it's original binding.
Bodston SUBS 28th Jul 2020		Book H. G. Wells - The Food Of The Gods (1976)	Cheers for that.. my copy is missing the back cover.
Bodston SUBS 28th Jul 2020		Book Lothar-Günther Buchheim - The Boat (1976)	Apologies for my 'slightly chipped' copy. Still, any images are better than none.
Bodston SUBS 28th Jul 2020		Book Henry N. Beard - Bored Of The Rings	My copy (images #2345029 & #2345026) takes the printings up to 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Cat# AJ2654 and a cover price of $1.95 UK price sticker (New English Library logo) £1.50 mod edit: images moved to Signet AJ2654
Bodston SUBS 27th Jul 2020		Book Gilbert Pearlman - Young Frankenstein (1975)	It was just the same as the film really. Funny, but you were just reliving the film in your head.
Bodston SUBS 27th Jul 2020		Book Gilbert Pearlman - Young Frankenstein (1975)	Too be honest I can't remember. I'll give it another go and report back.
Bodston SUBS 27th Jul 2020		Book J. J. Hudson - Catalogue Of Spanish EP's 1954-1968 (2001)	I just searched for Authors, Hudson. He is top of the list. Easy. As for your interest in pen names. Just enter the author as it appears on the cover, don't try and second guess it. Not everybody knows that it is a pen name when entering.
Bodston SUBS 26th Jul 2020		Book J. J. Hudson - Catalogue Of Spanish EP's 1954-1968 (2001)	If checking for an author the sensible way is to check the surname. So you don't have to worry about it.
Bodston SUBS 26th Jul 2020		Book Sebastian Faulks - Birdsong (1994)	Added my copy which has a different cover. Same Date, same ISBN, same EAN, same publisher but the white cover is priced at £6.99 and the dark cover has a price of £7.99. Which I would think to be a later printing.
Bodston SUBS 23rd Jul 2020		Book Cormac McCarthy - The Road (2010)	Oddly this copy that I just entered has a different ISBN/Barcode number to the other 2010 Picador.
Bodston SUBS 14th Jul 2020		Book Michael Light - Full Moon (1999)	I seem to remember that when this book came out a big deal was made about the newly developed special black ink used in the printing process. It really does capture the vastness of space very well. A beautiful book.
Bodston SUBS 14th Jul 2020		Book Kevin W. Kelley - The Home Planet (1988)	My copy also dates to 1988 but does have both an ISBN number on the publishers information page and with the Barcode on the rear of the dust jacket
Bodston SUBS 10th Jul 2020		Book Arnould Galopin - Doctor Omega (2003)	Unfortunately us poor Mods cannot alter the order of authors. On Book World a lot of the behind the scenes stuff is automatic. So what you see is what you get. So no more requests to change the order of authors please.
Bodston SUBS 8th Jul 2020		Book Gilbert Shelton - The Collected Adventures Of The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers (1986)	I wasn't going to bother to add them until I noticed the barcodes and ISBN's. I was planning to wait for the mythical 'Comic World'.. Glad they brought back a few memories.
Bodston SUBS 8th Jul 2020		Book Mark Gatiss - The Vesuvius Club: Graphic Edition (2005)	Nice use of The Yellow Book imagery.
