I have been going through newspaper archives looking for articles relating to PAN Books and I have found a few. The first couple relate to the arrival of PAN Books with the announcement of the thinking behind them and forthcoming titles. I have plenty more to use in future blogs.

      

     
The next clipping refers to problems with titles being delayed.

     

Some titles from 1951.

      
I’d love to get my hands on one of these from 1955.

     
Last one for this week the opening of the West Molesey despatch centre by Alan Bott’s wife, Josephine. Also there was Ralph Vernon-Hunt who was later to become the face of James Bond on the 1960’s book covers.

      

     
Me in almost the same spot in 2012.
