Comments and Reviews


OldMod67 19th Jun 2020		@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.



23skidoo 18th Jun 2020		I uploaded scans of my copy which was actually obtained around the same time as OldMod67. I am aware that the front cover displays the Canadian cover price. There is nothing within the book itself to suggest this was a Canadian printing (same ISBN, for example), other than perhaps they did a run of the front cover with the $2.75 price. That said, if anyone has the original UK edition for scanning, please feel free to replace the covers. The cover art and overall design is the same across the 1979 versions.
