A while ago I was lent a photo album belonging to Simon Bott, Alan Bott’s son and I scanned all the photos for future use. Unfortunately these were stored on a drive that died completely and I thought I had lost them but weirdly I’ve just come across one on another drive. It features Josephine Bott nee Blumenfeld holding at a guess Simon although the Bott’s had three children, one boy and two girls. I may have to grovel and ask if I can borrow the album again.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Jules Burt has produced another great video and this time looking at James Bond books of which over half are PAN editions. Click <\/span>HERE<\/span><\/strong><\/a> to watch it. Jules mentions that ‘The Life of Ian Fleming’<\/span><\/strong> <\/a>by John Pearson is not a true first (around 19 minutes 30 seconds in) He is right in that a true first edition first printing is numbered E12 and not just E as on copies so many sellers claim is a first. The problem is the printing history is identical in both printings. It did take me a while to find a copy of with E12. Also there is a difference on the back cover including where the price has gone up 5c in New Zealand!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Looking at ‘The Flood<\/span><\/strong><\/em>‘ by John Creasey published by Hodder and Stoughton I thought the lady on the front cover looked familiar. She must be based on Sophia Loren as has already appeared on ‘The Boy on a Dolphin’<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a> in similar pose.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
