OldMod67 21st Sep 2019		Book Jay Anson - 666 (1982)	NB: Title page contains the line 'A Mayflower Book' (then part of Granada) but other indicators (spine, title page verso) credit Granada Publishing alone, so that is what I've gone with. Also, some sources indicated original pub date as 1980 (the year Anson died) and some January 1981. My copy states © Estate of Jay Anson 1981.

OldMod67 8th Sep 2019		Book Stephen King - 'Salem's Lot (1982)	I've still entered pub date as 1977, as subsequent dates listed are reprints. The ISBN is from rear cover, whereas the title-page verso lists the 1977 one (which it seems has also been entered for the 1988 edition) This copy was purchased in early 1983 for the cover price of £1.95 . Bargain!

OldMod67 16th Aug 2019		Book Planet Of The Apes - Brown Watson (1975)	No ISBN or codes. No cover date for annual, although I assume I got it Christmas 1975. My parents missed clipping the price on this one though; 95p!
OldMod67 16th Aug 2019		Book Marc Gasgoigne - The Ren & Stimpy Show Happy Happy! Joy Joy! Book (1995)	Dated 1994, however every list I see has it published April 1995, so I've listed that pub.date for now.
OldMod67 11th Aug 2019		Book Ray Bradbury - The October Country (1996)	I'm not so sure about that; when it came to his name, it appears Mr. Knapp was quite flexible with it!

OldMod67 30th May 2019		Book Goscinny - Asterix And Cleopatra (1972)	Regarding pub. date, ,various websites list this edition with a 1975 date. Nowhere on my copy is this date, so I've left it as '72.
OldMod67 18th May 2019		Book Ringo Starr - Postcards From The Boys (2004)	The image on the front cover showing Ringo is an inlaid lenticular postcard, which when moved shows a shot of 'the boys' . This is from the photo by Torbjorn Ehrnvall taken in Sweden in 1963, featuring the remaining three fabs in their pink shirts, the red roses just in shot
OldMod67 18th May 2019		Book Helen Spence - The Beatles Forever (1981)	Hi, JPGR&B, thanks for adding an illustration as my scanning saga is ongoing. My copy, however, has a different photo on the dustjacket; it's a colour shot from the TOTP studio, featuring Ringo on a riser in the foreground. The jacket rear is a colour photo from the May '66 promo filming of Paperback Writer/ Rain (the session before Chiswick) with camera and crew at the bottom of the shot. The boards are claret as opposed to yellow,with gilt embossing. If and when I can start scanning I have such a backlog!
