Now winter is behind us (!) it’s time to start thinking about summer holidays and jetting off to foreign parts. I’ve mentioned the ‘Travellers’<\/a><\/span> language books before now but here are a couple of titles to help you avoid the pitfalls of overseas travel both before you go, while in transit and when you get there. They are by Brian Moynahan <\/a><\/span>and I can understand the changing of the one title to make its content clearer but I wish they’d have given it a more inspiring cover.\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

While sorting I noticed I’d got three copies of ‘A Married Man’ <\/a><\/span>by Piers Paul Read all with covers I find very uninspiring and whilst looking on the net found another, a first printing from 1981 but can I find a copy that doesn’t say ‘Stock Photo’ under it? Not sure it’s worth just buying on spec. What\u00a0I found more\u00a0interesting is that two of the editions are under PAN’s Pavanne imprint and the\u00a0TV tie-in definitely says Pavanne on the cover and 1982 inside but in the 1986 reprint edition it says ‘First published in Pavanne in 1983’ No wonder there are so many error with dating if they are using old text blocks.\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Pavanne was introduced by PAN to\u00a0showcase the best of UK fiction while Picador was to include the best of international fiction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally last week I included a picture of the ‘Laloun’ in Paris. It was\u00a0moored at the Quai de Austerlitz in 1947 and the quai is still recognisable today.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
