OldMod67 17th Oct 2024 | | BookVarious Authors - West Howe Proper (1982) | Wow, that's flown by. The Wonderholme is still there...
I'm hoping to locate the second volume at a decent price one day, but once out of print many local books get quite expensive.

OldMod67 15th Oct 2024 | | BookVarious Authors - West Howe Proper (1982) | @carryonsidney: Yeah, I missed them originally. They came out five or six years before I joined the book trade and were privately published. I've been keeping an eye out for a few years as I do like my local books, but the print runs can't have been massive. They crop up occasionally online, but usually expensive, the last one I saw online was about £90! I finally stumbled on book one in a chazza, priced at 75p, I nearly fell over.

OldMod67 8th Feb 2024 | | BookJohn Wyndham - The Best Of John Wyndham (1973) | Re: a hardcover edition. There was a hardcover released in 1975, titled The Man From Beyond and Other Stories which apparently had the same content as this. The publisher, however, was Michael Joseph so I may be in error. I still don't have a copy so can't confirm personally. In fact I still haven't got around to getting the paperback or indeed the two individual volumes.

The reverse of tp just lists the 1965 copyright.
