This week we have two roughs by David Tayler neither of which look like the finished cover for M33 ‘Annie’s Captain’<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Kathryn Hulme.

While looking at my C S Forester covers I’m left wondering why PAN felt the need to change the one for ‘Plain Murder’<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a> just a few years apart. As far as I can tell it wasn’t because there was going to be a complete relaunch of Forester titles with a new look as there seems to be only a couple and not really amongst my favourites. I think, if I had to chose, I prefer the earlier ‘Plain Murder’<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/span> from 1970<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

I’m often asked about the eclectic numbering system for PAN books and I explain, as I will now, it is all down to price as in this table I made. If anyone knows of any I missed please send me a message. If you are a completest then you need to watch our for examples as in the above which are identical apart from the 4th printing went up 6 pence from the 3rd. Just a letter on the spine was kept to show price when PAN switched to SBNs but dropped with the introduction of ISBNs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
