\"Frank<\/a>I intended to put this up on\u00a0Frank Garvin Yerby’s\u00a0birthday but I have only just managed to track down a couple of the covers I was missing. He was born in Augusta, Georgia and died in Madrid and was know as an African\/American author who\u00a0had 15(?) of his 33 titles published by PAN in the 70’s<\/span><\/p>\n

I have put\u00a0scans of most of these covers on\u00a0this page <\/a><\/span>in the order they were originally written. I have not been able to attribute any of the covers to specific artists although one or two I might hazard a guess but I won’t in case I pique ones who I have met. Artists are a sensitive lot and some even deny it’s their work when it has their signature on it!<\/span><\/p>\n

There is still one PAN edition I’ve failed to track down, namely 0330 247743 “The Treasure of Pleasant Valley” from 1976. I found a couple of sellers claiming to have it but showing the Dell copy. When I asked them to check they both said they had too many titles to do it and then finished by saying “If\u00a0 we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us<\/span><\/em>” Now that’s what I call great customer service! I used World Cat and actually found our local library had a copy in their reserved stock. I requested it only to be told “it has gone missing”<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve heard from Nay in New Zealand who has a copy of the PAN paper sculpture book “The Railway Children<\/span>“<\/a> with model and instruction sheet plus it is signed by Lionel Jeffries who directed the 1970 film. Shee is looking for around \u00a345 to \u00a350 with postage at about \u00a38. If anyone is interested\u00a0here email address is\u00a0nay22.trademe@hotmail.com<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
