Nick K 28th Aug 2023		The No.1 issue shown is the reprint. Easy to tell as there is a white line between the title and the cover picture.



Rocker Fella 2nd Feb 2019		Amazing. Really, amazing that these scans were uploaded over 5 years ago, and in that time no-one has pointed out that you just have a collection of 1970s reprints. I can't find a single original here, with the exception of the 'Special Repeat' (which was actually printed in 1966, not 1964). By the time the books were reprinted inside the Appreciation Society magazine, printing processes had moved on. Even if the original printing plates had been available (most had been sold, lost or destroyed) they would have been no use. The reprints used a scanning process to copy the text from the originals and initially, the original photos were used for the new books. As the series continued, laziness dictated that just scanning the photos from original books would do, and as a result the quality of the photos in later books is very poor. Every reprint in the series is different from its original, some very obviously so (details are changed or missing from some covers, or inside, a photo in book 4 is even the wrong one). And they smell different, too. Sadly, there is still no online resource for this great series. I have added a photo of a 1963 original.



TopPopper 6th Feb 2014		Brilliant work.



roboleyton 6th Feb 2014		All 77 original copies now uploaded, some have included, articles of some interest.



JPGR&B SUBS 31st Oct 2013		Well done you.



roboleyton 31st Oct 2013		Less dedication, more protecting an investment. It's taken me from 1978 to 2007 to get every original print.



JPGR&B SUBS 31st Oct 2013		Wow, scanned every page! That's dedication. I only have the reprints and then those that followed and would have uploaded scans except I think they are all in the loft at my ex-wife's and we haven't spoken for a number of years.



roboleyton 31st Oct 2013		I have all 77 and have scanned every page, so that I can view them on my laptop, rather than thumb through, and damage the pages. I was suprised that nobody had uploaded these sooner.



JPGR&B SUBS 31st Oct 2013		Good luck Rob with these.
