\"\"<\/a>To celebrate ‘Ekka Day’ in Brisbane on Wednesday all the books mentioned today have an Australian connection.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Having heard from Ray down under\u00a0 regarding a variant of a ‘Dam Busters’<\/span><\/a> cover he emailed again to let me know of another ‘Young Lions’<\/span><\/a> a later edition which so far I’ve only found for certain on Gumtree in South Africa. Many sellers list an edition as 1981 but then say something like they have 5 copies available so it’s always pot luck. Thankfully Ray sent me a scan so I’ve included that at the moment. I think it’s interesting how the title and author have switched, the former becoming subservient to the latter (Still wondering what happened to the soldier on the left?)<\/span><\/p>\n

While asking about Corris titles Stuart sent me his cover scans plus a list of other PAN titles published in Australia from the back of ‘White Meat’<\/span><\/a> I’ve decided my challenge is to get them all and so far the total is three. I have to say I had real trouble trying to even find an image of ‘Coins for the Ferryman’<\/span><\/a> just to put on as a place holder but then struck lucky and got a copy from S.A. What a disappointment, no wonder nobody bother to scan it before!<\/span><\/p>\n

As I mentioned last week we have been out and about in the camper dropping off books at NT second hand book shops but that didn’t preclude me buying\u00a0 a few, the rule is no more than we leave. I managed to pick up a couple of Arthur Upfields<\/span><\/a> I hadn’t got and it turned out they were the Australian printings with covers by Marinella Bonini. I have found a lady of that name in Italy so I think an email is called for.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last but by no means least I am still rescanning the whole collection and am now up to \u2026\u2026\u2026 PAN 13<\/span><\/a>, well these things can’t be rushed. I have three different editions and it was while just checking for the printer I noticed my 1948 edition has a booksellers stamp in it. This is form “Dymock’s Book Arcade, George Steet, Sidney’ which I’m pleased to see has been there since 1879, and is still there, 139 years later.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
