OldMod67 19th Nov 2020		Book Dorset Then & Now - Newsquest Media (2014)	Editor: Toby Granville Words: Darren Slade and Diarmuid MacDonagh Picture research and sourcing: Michelle Luther and Diarmuid MacDonagh Design, page layout, image blending and manipulation: John Newbury Production: Carl Blackmore These perennial bestselling local publications were usually one print run. Often published ready for the Christmas market I used to source them direct from The Echo and were a major seller, both for my local section and for the shop as a whole. As Christmas gifts they were always one of the most popular series of books.
OldMod67 17th Nov 2020		Book John Wyndham - Web (1980)	@ppint That's really interesting. I presumed it was just the lure of ££ that got it out, along with the tenth anniversary of Wyndham's passing. Brian Aldiss mentioned in a documentary some years back that Wyndham asked him to collaborate on a 'spider' novel, but declined. I assumed it was still to be polished until I read different a lot later on (amazing what you can find on this internet thingie) but apparently it was complete. I actually really enjoyed it and although very short I got sucked right into it. Not really a big fan of spiders, so that was on my mind....
OldMod67 16th Nov 2020		Book John Wyndham - Web (1980)	Originally submitted for publication in 1965, but rejected.
OldMod67 14th Nov 2020		Book Andre Pieyre De Mandiargues - The Girl On The Motorcycle (1975)	Added my fairly tatty film cover, Jan '75 printing. I'm sure someone can replace it with a more presentable copy!

OldMod67 11th Nov 2020		Book Shoot! Annual 1978 - Fleetway (1977)	@ppint No, I usually put the nine in regardless (as you may have noticed) but I put the extra zero in to get the classification number, then left it 'on paste' on my Kindle. That's the only reason I put a comment on it afterwards, when I realised I'd left it in....
