\"\"<\/a>As promised I am starting to rescan the front and back covers of all my crossword books I currently have, from the 1950s up to the 80s. I have split them into four parts to use over this and the next three weeks. I will say the earlier ones had a lot more going for them but some of the colour combinations of the later ones are not bad. Today it is PART 1<\/span><\/strong><\/a> with the crossword books having PAN’s eclectic numbers. If you see any gaps and find you have a spare copy or can scan the missing covers please let me know so we can make the pages as complete as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

This time it’s the new titles list for the 6th February 1970<\/span>.<\/strong><\/a> There seems to be, sadly, fewer and fewer painted covers and more photos as time goes by but it does have Wilbur Smith<\/span><\/strong><\/a> titles on the front. I’m\u00a0 pleased to say I do have some of Hans Helweg’s roughs for these covers but I would really to know where the\u00a0 finished originals ended up. It does have the usual six pages plus a double sided stock list and this time a flyer for ‘Incident of Hill 192’<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

While looking for PAN crossword books I came across the jumbo series by Mike Grimshaw and was pleased to find a copy of Book 4 on Amazon with fast delivery included in my Prime account, goodness knows how long it might have been otherwise!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
