OldMod67 ● 20th May 2020 | | BookPeter O'Donnell - I, Lucifer (1969) | 23skidoo, yes you're correct. I've checked my copy and it only appears on covers, not on TP.
Requested removal as per your comment. Thanks!

OldMod67 ● 20th May 2020 | | BookRoger Langley - Think Tank (1984) | Just checked out the omnibus, The Prisoner section on here is filling out nicely!
That L.P. sounds like the first Bam-Caruso pressing, with the fold out bars on the front (weba 66). That came with booklets and a map and 6 of 1 membership details etc. My mate bought this from Our Price records in Bournemouth in '86, their only copy, about double the price of a regular album then I think. I had to make do with the regular edition (kiri 66) a bit later and order the bits and bobs separately...

OldMod67 ● 19th May 2020 | | BookRoger Langley - Think Tank (1984) | @23skidoo. Still have a box file with a load of 1980s Number Six mags, map booklets etc, but I do like the look of the Max Hora titles you've put on. I probably haven't bought any Prisoner related books since that Virgin HB in 1990, but I somehow missed these altogether! I'll Keep an eye out for your others, thanks.

OldMod67 ● 19th May 2020 | | BookRoger Langley - Think Tank (1984) | Thanks for adding the images, a new laptop and scanner are not on the horizon!
The covers are identical to mine, the 1986 printing, purchased from The Six of One in 1987.
Cheers again!

OldMod67 ● 28th Apr 2020 | | BookRobert A. Heinlein - Stranger In A Strange Land (1970) | Unable to scan the cover at present, but with this ISBN in use for quite a while, I have a later copy of this (cover illustration by Tim White) stating New Edition 1978, nineteenth impression 1989.
It includes a barcode, but wondered if I should enter here as whilst it does belong with the book number (albeit with its 0 prefix) the barcode clearly doesn't belong in 1970.....

OldMod67 ● 21st Apr 2020 | | BookTerry Pratchett - Sourcery (1989) | We had Mike back then, who I later dealt with when at Ottakar's (he was then with Simon & Schuster). Most reps were pretty good; I even got a Batknife (in reality, a letter opener) from Futura when they published a tie-in novel....

OldMod67 ● 16th Apr 2020 | | BookFootball 78 - Figurine Panini (1978) | I haven't marked it as owned yet, but I hope I still have this. The Saturday morning ritual of pocket money to the shop and opening them outside on bikes with my mate James, for swaps. Still remember the smell of them too! This collecting lark really stays for life, doesn't it....?

OldMod67 ● 16th Apr 2020 | | BookRichard Barnes - The Who Maximum R&B (1982) | Ordinarily each edition, with changing ISBN would get its own entry, as a reissued L.P. with new cat no.would. This Eel Pie book, along with Richard Barnes' Mods! paperback both got Plexus reissues, although I wasn't aware of the lack of flexi, that's annoying!
I don't think I can link between '45' sites, but the flexi seems to have been entered twice.
One of which lists the cat no. 623827XS, under Pete Townshend. It's also listed under The Who.

OldMod67 ● 15th Apr 2020 | | BookTerry Pratchett - Sourcery (1989) | When this came out in paperback I was given a promotional box by the Transworld/Corgi rep. It contained a copy of Sourcery in paperback and a 'Mummies' mug. Still have it somewhere, but not something that can be scanned. I do think it was strictly a promo item though, not for sale.

|
OldMod67 ● 5th Apr 2020 | | BookM. Elia - 1a We Go To The Gallery (2015) | I've listed this book under the listed publisher, Dung Beetle, despite it obviously being a spoof, although I think the company did indeed come into existence after the first edition was issued.
It was originally self published via Kickstarter by Miriam Elia, who co-authored and illustrated the book. There was also a legal issue with Penguin (home of the Ladybird books it parodied). Ironically, Ladybird now do really well themselves with 'adult' spoofs....

OldMod67 ● 4th Feb 2020 | | BookStar Trek Annual 1986 - World International Publishing Limited (1985) | As an aside, my parents bought me two Star Trek annuals (Christmas '75 and for some reason Christmas '85, maybe I'd mentioned the film?). Anyway on reading the 1986 annual, I had a feeling of déjà vu; the Ice Journey strip had appeared in the only other Star Trek annual I'd had, ten years earlier. Cheated!
