I’m sure, like most book collectors, you get asked “Have you read them all?” to which I usually reply “Don’t be daft, I have 133 Barbara Cartlands!” but I did read a recent purchase namely  ‘What A Way To Go’ <\/span><\/strong><\/em>by Peter Bowler and Jonathan Green. This describes the deaths of some famous and some obscure people but all in weird ways and often avoidable. For example I didn’t know Arnold Bennet<\/span><\/strong><\/a> was told not to drink the water in Paris as it contained typhoid bacillus. He pooh-poohed this, drank the water and shortly after died of typhoid. The cover is by Paul Sample who did several covers for PAN including nearly all the PAN Tom Sharpe<\/strong><\/span><\/a> titles.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

This weeks list is from June 1967 and has some of the later titles still listed using PAN’s eclectic numbering system. Amongst them, on the back inside page is X705<\/span><\/span>‘Junior Crosswords Book 3<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a>‘ that elusive title I’m still after. Click on the list cover to see the contents.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

While looking at the above list I was reminded of a Gavin Lyall<\/span><\/strong><\/a> series from the 1970s I haven’t posted yet. They feature covers which include ones by Chris Foss and Harry Hants and for some reason or other have two versions of the same two titles published very close together. They also feature Lyall’s name more prominently that the books title.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
