I&#8217;ve not got enough duplicates to hand\u00a0to see if all 16 were printed in both countries or whether it was a case of some here and some there? Something to investigate in the future. I also noticed that although all the Canadian editions were printed by Ronalds-Federated Ltd there are 4 different printers for the UK editions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/printers.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4214\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/printers-300x274.jpg\" alt=\"printers\" width=\"300\" height=\"274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/printers-300x274.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/printers-768x703.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/printers.jpg 774w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The edition of &#8216;The Master of Jalna&#8217; is dedicated to Hugh Walpole who was a very good friend of\u00a0 Alan Bott, founder of PAN Books and has been mentioned previously, Walpole dedicated at least two of his\u00a0publications to Bott.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Canada.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4213 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Canada-181x300.jpg\" alt=\"Canada\" width=\"181\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Canada-181x300.jpg 181w, https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Canada.jpg 504w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 181px) 100vw, 181px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just a couple of things this week as the weather has been too nice to be sitting in front of a computer.
