Comments and Reviews


ppint. 24th Jul 2018		re-uses the cover art, as well as the cat# from the 1964 first uk p/b, placing a narrow (~½cm) blue border around both the front & back covers four edges, and placing the spine titles, and the cat# & logo, in a long cartouche of the same blue (with a line separating off the cat# & logo). cover art may have been signed by the artist at the lower rh corner, but this is very blurred. reference copy provided by courtesy of tony at the old pier bookshop, morecambe seafront.
