OldMod67 ● 6th Oct 2020		Book John Wyndham - The Chrysalids (1958)	Images added, I'm aware of the lack of quality, owing to my only tech gadget now being a Kindle (no laptop, scanner or even smartphone) Please treat my images from September onwards as 'holding images', until a fellow .cat member replaces mine. Thanks.
OldMod67 ● 6th Oct 2020		Book John Wyndham - The Midwich Cuckoos (1965)	Sorry, hit 'submit' too early... 'A' format 220pp Reprinted 1960 (twice), 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965 Cover drawing by Paul Hogarth. The first pb had this illustration, with Penguin's vertical panels either side.
OldMod67 ● 1st Oct 2020		Book Ransom Riggs - The Conference Of Birds (2020)	Front and rear cover of exclusive edition added. Images not as my previous book standard due to relying on old Kindle, instead of laptop & scanner.
OldMod67 ● 1st Oct 2020		Book D. H. Lawrence - Lady Chatterley's Lover (1961)	Cover images added (best I could get)
OldMod67 ● 30th Sep 2020		Book Paolo Hewitt - Steve Marriott (2004)	Front & rear cover added (via Kindle). Just holding images really, if someone can replace please feel free!
OldMod67 ● 29th Sep 2020		Book Sheila Burnford - The Incredible Journey (1963)	Images added, apologies for quality - feel free to correct/replace...

OldMod67 ● 19th Sep 2020		Book Mike Roote - Enter The Dragon (1974)	@David Whiteley Thanks David, my copy is a tad 'scuffed'....
OldMod67 ● 14th Sep 2020		Book Danger Man Annual - World Distributors (1965)	@23skidoo: no, I wanted Danger Man and Dangerman to be linked to assist searches.

OldMod67 ● 21st Jul 2020		Book Edgar Allan Poe - A Selection Of Tales Of Mystery And Imagination (1953)	Printed in Great Britain by Ebenezer Baylis And Son, Limited, The Trinity Press, Worcester and London.
OldMod67 ● 11th Jul 2020		Book Euro Football - Figurine Panini (1977)	..and another one. I was absolutely obsessed with collecting the Dutch first when this came out - and I did! I do recall the cover becoming detached; wonder where it is now?
OldMod67 ● 8th Jul 2020		Book Gilbert Shelton - The Collected Adventures Of The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers (1986)	They did indeed! My original thought was on maybe 45 spaces, as someone I knew years ago had 'world' for modzines. But the 'comic' is sadly lacking; comics and graphic novels would be very welcome categories when 'The Powers ' are able to add them on. I look forward to any more you're adding! Thanks again.
OldMod67 ● 8th Jul 2020		Book Gilbert Shelton - The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers (1990)	@Bodston. This is interesting as I stopped at #10, The Idiots Abroad, part three. I haven't found mine (hope that wasn't nicked too) but there was also a newspaper called, I think, The Freak Flyer available for a really limited time. I only had the one issue, but maybe that was all there was?
OldMod67 ● 8th Jul 2020		Book Gilbert Shelton - The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers In "Grass Roots" (1987)	'I Wish I'd bought' moment # 23 : in the mid eighties or so, a hardcover, full colour version from a comic shop in Bournemouth. It was gone on my next visit....
OldMod67 ● 8th Jul 2020		Book Gilbert Shelton - Further Adventures Of Those Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers (1986)	Also issued with the cover having an orange skyline.
OldMod67 ● 8th Jul 2020		Book Gilbert Shelton - The Collected Adventures Of The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers (1986)	Wow, I'm so glad these are being added. By the time I thought about it my scanner was kaput, so I passed. None of mine are barcoded and some have no ISBN, some like #1 were £1.00 in the UK, going up to £1.25 at issue #7. Unfortunately I lent some to my cousin in the late 80s and he was burgled, so I'm missing numbers 3 & 4. I only recently dug them out to show my son (Rip Off and others too) Thanks for adding these, many a good giggle with these in my youth!
OldMod67 ● 4th Jul 2020		Book Football 78 - Figurine Panini (1978)	@cannyuk. That may just be too depressing to contemplate! I still haven't found my Man From U.N.C.L.E car.....
OldMod67 ● 4th Jul 2020		Book The Residents - The Residents: An Almost Complete Collection Of Lyrics (1989)	And what a fabulous rear cover pic, thanks!
OldMod67 ● 19th Jun 2020		Book J. R. R. Tolkien - The Hobbit (1979)	@23skidoo. Thanks for uploading the pix. Even if I could scan mine it would be useless, as mine has been read to death over the last 40 years and the condition reflects that! The cover illustration is as your copy, but mine's on a brown background, an Unwin logo at centre bottom. Thanks again.
OldMod67 ● 14th Jun 2020		Book Various Contributors - The Ren & Stimpy Show Tastes Like Chicken (1995)	Not numbered, but often referred to as Volume Two.
OldMod67 ● 14th Jun 2020		Book Various Contributors - The Ren & Stimpy Show Pick Of The Litter (1994)	Not numbered, but often referred to as Volume One.
OldMod67 ● 10th Jun 2020		Book Peter O'Donnell - The Silver Mistress (1975)	@23skidoo. Yeah, I've put forth my views before on this and despite members' pointers to change to International, I don't think this is always actioned. I stand by my views regarding where the book was printed for (not always where it was printed or bound) and imports are just that, manufactured for a market elsewhere. Having said all that, I wouldn't request changing your entries! I rarely request anything unless I spot a typo (including mine). You've had a great run adding entries recently and I for one appreciate it!
OldMod67 ● 10th Jun 2020		Book Peter O'Donnell - The Silver Mistress (1975)	I've still yet to see this rule; when you add books you select where it was published. For example, A Taste For Death, published in Great Britain, with UK price on reverse, followed by overseas pricing. To me common sense would still dictate a UK edition, International being a bit of a cop-out.
OldMod67 ● 10th Jun 2020		Book Peter O'Donnell - A Taste For Death (1973)	@23skidoo Hi, this seems to be reprint of my original entry (same ISBN) the covers identical, with the exception of price increases in yours; UK price 30p on mine. No illustration on my entry yet due to previously mentioned issues, although my cover is quite tatty and marked anyway, so I may not have bothered! Still listed mine under UK issue though (produced in Great Britain for sale here and in other territories). I haven't read the Modesty Blaise books for years and feel a re-read long overdue..
OldMod67 ● 9th Jun 2020		Book Tod Sullivan - Joe 90 And The Raiders (1968)	Cat# from Armada website.
OldMod67 ● 4th Jun 2020		Book Marc Scott Zicree - The Twilight Zone Companion (1992)	The 1992 date listed is the first Silman - James edition. The actual first may well have been 1982, but a different publisher first time around, maybe Bantam, but I don't have the detail of this.
OldMod67 ● 1st Jun 2020		Book Roger Guttridge - Poole (2004)	Photographs from The Francis Frith Collection. Additional photographs by Sylvie Guttridge. Printed and Bound in Italy. These books formed part of a Local Interest range stocked at Ottakar's Bookshops, which included in the same range (in association with Frith) a local quiz book, a town miscellany, notebooks and prints used in the books.
OldMod67 ● 24th May 2020		Book Gary Russell - Doctor Who: Big Bang Generation (2015)	As you may have seen, there has been some discussion regarding 'international ' releases and not just books. For a random example, Cathy Come Home (Pan Books, 1967) has rear pricing for UK, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. As far as I'm concerned this is a UK book that was also for sale in these other territories. Sometimes they were given additional stickers or stamps indicating that countries' price on the front to make it clear. To me that's still a UK book. I still enter these items as based on the primary market, which with my items tends to be UK. Record wise a load of records were pressed in France and Germany, but manufactured for sale in the UK. These are not imports. I have a feeling that the matter will never be agreed on, but obviously if these entries get switched to international, then so be it. This will make searching for items a muddy affair and detrimental to an organised site though.
OldMod67 ● 20th May 2020		Book Bernhard Roetzel - Gentleman (1999)	Typesetting: First Edition Translations Ltd, Cambridge, UK English edition, printed and binding : Neue Stalling, Oldenburg, Germany.
