PAN Books inaugurated their ‘Golden PAN Award’ in June 1964 for any author selling more than a million copies of anyone one title published and sold by PAN

As PAN doesn’t have a definitive list of winners I thought we should have a go at making one. Some authors are very easy to find and are well documented but others …….!

This is a work in progress with many titles/authors/dates of award not book publication missing or possibly wrong so if you can help please add a comment or email me at tim@tikit.net
