\"Man\"<\/a>‘The Time Machine’ by Herbert George Wells was written 120 years ago in 1895 and has never been out of print. I don’t know how many covers and variations PAN printed but I’ve put seven examples I’ve got HERE<\/a>\u00a0The 1953 cover is by George Woodman\u00a0about whom, like a lot of the artists from the time, very little has been recorded. The 1974 cover is by Ian Miller and the 1976 by Alan Lee of which a lot has been written about them both.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a\u00a0some recent updates\u00a0for a few\u00a0pages;<\/span><\/p>\n

Rowan Barnes-Murphy <\/a><\/span>was mentioned in a blog regarding the Breakthrough language series and since then I have tracked down and scanned in another four of his covers and one where he did the illustrations to .<\/span><\/p>\n

I found\u00a0 another cover for ‘The Scapegoat’ from the<\/span> Daphne du Maurier <\/a><\/span>series, ordered it and yet again it is not the one shown so I’ve used\u00a0the sellers\u00a0photo while I try and track down the one I actually wanted. I’ve also included a photo of an item I found on eBay, a book and letter signed by du Maurier. I place a bid but in the end it went for \u00a3137, well over my limit.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve added a couple more covers to the ‘Piccolo Adventure Library’ <\/a><\/span>with artwork by author and artist Tom Barling. These are both signed ‘T.B.78:’<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Finally after many years I’ve found copies of\u00a0 book 1 and\u00a0 3\u00a0to go with 2 and 4 of the “Fun With Words”<\/span><\/a> series \u00a0I already had. It is one of those mysterious occurrences when I can’t \u00a0find any for years and then both the ones I need come along at the same time – and at\u00a0a price I’m willing to pay. Someone is asking \u00a335 for book 4!<\/span><\/p>\n
