I recently made contact again with Simon Marsh-Devine which gave me the opportunity to ask him about his Catalogue of Artwork<\/strong><\/span><\/a> he produced after the infamous Bonham’s PAN Artwork Auction<\/span><\/strong><\/a> of 1991. He replied to say<\/span> “Well I don’t know if I can tell you anything of any great interest. Before the catalogue I met with all three of the artists in the catalogue using some of their memories in my work in my degree titled “Post War British Paperback Cover Art” which secured me honours. I have always bought and sold art and antiques on a hobby basis and this catalogue was a tiny part of what I did as my main work was and still is as an arborist”<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Here is the stock list for new titles for June 1969. It also included a large double sided stock list and a double side insert for three titles. I’ve abandoned attempts at an electronic book and just scanned in the pages which is simpler and works most of the time unlike an on screen book where the software can become redundant. I still have a few I made using Flash but where is that now? It features some great counter and window displays so click on the scan above to see it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

When I first started collecting PAN Books a little more seriously that just picking them up whenever I saw one I got hold of a second edition copy of<\/span> <\/strong>Richard William’s checklist<\/a><\/span><\/strong> which has become very dogeared and full on my markings. Since then I have got another second printing which Richard signed to go with a first but now I am pleased to say I have got an earlier listing from 1987 covering just the numbered titles. It is a second printing and says it is part 2′ but I’ve no idea what was in part 1? It confirms there were no titles numbered 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, 69, 88, 187 and 442 which agrees with my list but it also states there were 18 with dust jackets and I have 19 with 2 variants. There are a lot more details which I’ll check out and probably use in future blogs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

QUICK QUERY<\/strong>: While looking for S\/F titles I noticed a couple of PANs by Arthur Clarke which set me wondering who decided he would become Arthur C(harles) Clarke? A couple of examples are <\/span>‘Earthlight’<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/em> and ‘Childhood’s End’<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
