In recent blogs I have linked to Jules Burt’s videos several times and although the ones mentioned may have been a little selective all of his are worth a look as they cover such a diverse range of collecting subjects and there has to be at least one for everybody. This time it’s a link to Jules reviewing his year and I was pleased to see his visit to me in September gets featured. Click on the photo to see the whole year.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Between 1980 and 1982 PAN brought out six(?) titles all stating with ‘The Guinness Book of …….’<\/strong> <\/span><\/em><\/a>under the Piccolo imprint. I don’t know how popular they were but all my copies appear to be unread. Five were very easy to find but the sixth was not. There appeared to be several copies available but on closer inspection, although listed on several sites, it was the same seller every time. Interestingly they all had different prices and in the end I saved nearly \u00a33 as one also had free postage! It’s true when they say you need to shop around. In 1983 PAN reprinted ‘Most and Least’<\/span><\/em><\/strong> for Heinz as a promotion possibly just so they could use the word ‘Souperlatives’<\/span><\/strong><\/em>!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Having bitten the bullet and joined the ‘rival team’ that is the Penguin Collectors Society<\/a><\/span><\/strong> last year I was pleased to see they were happy to give my site a plug at least three times in ‘The Penguin Collector’ magazine number 98 This has an article entitled ‘The Use of Imagery by Penguin and its Paperback Competitors’ by Elizabeth Skip liberally illustrated with PAN titles as above. In response fellow PAN Fan, Fred Cheetham from Vancouver, submitted his article for magazine number 99 and can I say a big “Thank you” to Fred for the plug for the site plus the article which is also lavishly illustrated with PAN covers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
