Yippee, it’s taken a long time but here it is at last!

For the last few years I have been hunting for X705 ‘Junior Crosswords Book 3’ and now thanks to the generosity of Elly and PAN’s archive team giving me a copy, I hope I have finally complete the collection of pre SBN editions. I think there are 2,391 titles with one of PANs numbers that were used before SBNs and ISBNs. I now have at least one edition starting at just number, then GP, followed by G, X, M and various other letter prefixes to indicate price. I also have all the PAN Piper titles which start with a double letter prefix.

It great to have it on the shelf as its space has been kept by a 4th printing with a SBN as a place filler.

People say “What are you going to do now you have them all?” well don’t worry there is still plenty of material out there including cover and printing variants, artwork, catalogues, advertising and associated ephemera plus later titles of course.
