Scratchy45 28th Jun 2017		Book Various Authors - Rock Dreams (1974)	The Rolling Stones can't have been too miffed about their depiction, as Guy Peellaert did the cover art for 1974's "It's Only Rock And Roll". The rather infamous sleeve (in uncensored form) for David Bowie's Diamond Dogs is also his.
Scratchy45 14th Nov 2015		Book John Cooper Clarke - Directory 1979 (1980)	This collection of JCC's performance poems was originally issued in 1979, then reprinted with a slightly amended cover for inclusion as part of the package for early copies of the LP "Snap Crackle and Bop".
Scratchy45 10th Nov 2015		Book Terrance Dicks - Doctor Who And An Unearthly Child (1982)	The ISBN (originally 10 digits, then expanded to 13 digits) ends with a check digit - which has nothing whatsoever to do with the edition but is calculated using the preceding digits. Randomly googled explanation here I became very familiar with the 10-digit ISBN and its uses and misuses during a dozen or so years working firstly in bibliographic information and then selling books.I'll gladly post a general explanation of the elements of an ISBN if anyone should want it - or if it's needed given the existence of links like the one above. Nowadays there may be a sequence of numbers on the the inside page of a book where bibliographic and copyright information is recorded. This identifies the reprint number for that book.
