\"\"<\/a>This blog is a little different in that it is not just about PAN editions this week but\u00a0several versions of a particular short series. This is because I\u00a0<\/span>picked up a couple of John Gardner titles published by PAN with covers by George Sharp<\/a><\/span> both featuring the notorious Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes’s nemesis and then found I’d got the same\u00a0titles from other publishers. Gardner is probably most well know for continuing the James Bond legacy but none of those titles were published by PAN. Quercus republished ‘Moriaty’ in the UK in 2008 while Houghton Mifflin Harcourt\u00a0did likewise\u00a0in the US. In 2013 PAN\/MacMillan reissued some of his early books as ‘print on demand’ <\/span>The two Gardner titles were ‘The Return of Moriarty’ which for some reason or other PAN decided just to\u00a0call ‘Moriarty’ unlike all the other publishers and\u00a0this was then followed by ‘The Revenge of Moriarty’ In the States it was published by Putnam in hardback while in the UK it was Weidenfeld & Nicolson. The paperback versions were then published by PAN, Berkley and later Star. To see them click HERE<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A couple of Berkley editions from 1981 I’d like to have.<\/p><\/div>\n

One\u00a0point of interest, maybe,\u00a0my Putnam copy of ‘The Return of Moriarty’ has a red spot which I thought was part of the design as it is definitely in the printing but looking at other images on-line none of them have it. <\/span>Back to a more normal blog next week with the Jas McConnell covers as promised last week<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
