As I’ve mentioned a few times I get regular packets of clippings from ‘The Times’<\/span><\/strong> from Jeremy Birch who goes through the papers with a fine tooth comb to find anything that can be related to PAN Books or their authors. This time there was something different in the contents, a napkin (or is it a serviette?) from the restaurant ‘Piz Gloria’<\/span><\/strong> on the Schilthorn in Switzerland as featured in ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0It appears to be an original from around 1969 when packs where sold in the souvenir shop. I need to ask Jeremy how he came by it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Just a quick reminder<\/span> ‘The Paperback and Pulp Fair’<\/span> <\/strong>is in London on Sunday 8th November. I’m trying to see if I can combine it with a visit to my son in Kent as it is much easier and cheaper to get the train from him as I have before but with the price of fuel to get to him ……. The poster uses the cover from the 1974 NEL edition of<\/span> ‘The Omega Point’<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a> by George Zebrowski with artwork by Ray Feibrush. Organiser Neil Pettigrew teils me he has bought a large collection of PAN books and will be offering many of them for sale at the fair.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
