| ppint. 17th Mar 2022 | badger books supernatural stories #107, edited anonymously by samuel (saul/sol/solly) assael, the fictional ''john spencer'' of john spencer & co. and hence of badger books, advised as published bi-monthly at this stage, but had slowed closer to a quarterly, and even a six-monthly schedule in the final years of the badger books story... all of the british general paperback publishers were hit by major paperbacks distributor, thorpe & porter's bankruptcy in 1966, which left them short of ~three-to-six months' sales to t&p with no realistic hopes of seeing even 1s in the £1 (even 5%) of the money owed them. unlike transworld publishers / corgi books, and hamilton & co. (stafford) ltd. / panther books ltd, ''john spencer'' & co. failed to raise new capital - and - for hamilton's - to eventually lose control of / sell their publishing interests to one of the larger companies buying up uk p/b publishers: ''spencer'''s did publish a few more p/bs after retiring the badger books imprint, including reprints of at least a couple of john glasby's-as-by-a. j. merak (and with much more modern-looking covers) - but essentially they faded fast and were gone; and an era in british paperback and fiction magazine publishing was all but over. | |
