While looking at John Atkinson’s site I spotted what I thought was a photo of the spines of PAN Bond books. On closer inspection I found they were not a photo but painted by Roo Waterhouse who specialises in ‘Shelf Portraits’ Roo has also done one of mainly PAN Agatha Chrsitie spines and another featuring a few PAN S F titles. Some images are available as prints, tote bags, cards and mugs and to see more click HERE. I pleased to say I now have one of her prints hanging on my wall. If you do feel like buying something don’t forget to mention you saw the link on my site.
Several years ago I picked up a bundle of original artworks by William Francis Phillips including one for a Penguin title and a few for New English Library titles but a couple remained a mystery, well that was up to now. I was casually looking at images of book covers and was delighted to see one I recognised. It was for ‘Summer of the Red Wolf’ by Morris West from NEL so that leaves one more on the unknow covers list from this batch, click HERE to see it. (Sorry the covers for Edge and Steele are poor but can’t find mine and these are off the net)
There has been a couple of items relating to ‘The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy’ on eBay recently which made me have a second look but then decided that they may be worth the asking price to someone but I couldn’t bring myself to pay that much. One was for an original ‘Don’t Panic’ towel from PAN with an asking price of £220 while the poster was on offer for £52.
