\"\"<\/a>Having mentioned last week the two ‘roughs’ by Gordon King I got for ‘The Prisoner of Zenda’<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a> I set about trying to find the edition they might have eventually ended up in. I bought the Everyman Library paperback edition as it said illustrated by Gordon King to find they had just used his artwork for the cover. I then thought I would investigate the hardback edition only to find no mention of Gordon at all but with a cover by Steve Lavis. Does anyone have an edition that has illustration in the book as neither of these do?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

As well as publishing the Referees’ Handbook<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/a>, PAN was also involved with the Football Association Year Book<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a> for a short while, The 71\/72 edition was published by Pelham while the 72\/73, 73\/74 and 74\/75 editions were published by Heinemann and distributed by PAN and had two ISBNs from both publishers. It wasn’t until the 75\/76 and 76\/77 editions that Heinemann disappeared and PAN took over as official publisher with their logo on the spine. In 77\/78 Pelham took over again, then Clowes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
