Last Monday I was actually partaking in an activity where I received money rather than giving it out all the time. I bit the bullet and took a large amount of my duplicate PAN’s to<\/span> Astley Book Farm<\/span><\/a> where I got paid for them. They were a very mixed collection and in all conditions but I was more than happy with the outcome. I have had several wants lists from fellow collectors and I don’t think any titles on those lists were included. Amazingly I came away without buying a book but I’d forgotten what a good shop Astley is and will be returning soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

After mentioning recently the fact PAN often produced several film tie-ins and wondering why I picked up a copy of<\/span> ‘Flowers For Algernon’<\/span><\/a> by Daniel Keyes which showed PAN didn’t always ‘push the boat out’ to publicise film tie-ins as it just has a sticker on it.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I put the Hailey ‘Airport’<\/span><\/a> covers on last week I was hoping that by now I would have received the copy I found in France and so have accurate date etc. I have tracked it for the last two weeks via several places in France and Germany where it appears to be stuck. I’m also waiting for a couple of titles from eBay I bought on August 14th but the delivery date hasn’t run out yet! I think I’ll stick with books from Australia as they seem to arrive in days but I think my fastest record from a non UK source is one from San Francisco bought on a Monday which arrived on the following Wenesday. The record from the longest was ten months from Canada. The seller decided it was lost and gave me my money back. I later told him it had arrived but he kindly said it was now a present.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>A couple of weeks ago, on a Facebook site for vintage paperbacks and pulps, I was nominating ‘Sam Chard’ by Don Bannister as a candidate for an awful cover award but then said I turned it over to find a small picture. This looks really familiar but I just can’t think where I’ve seen it before, as another cover perhaps, does anyone recognise?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Spotted this optimist on eBay last week. <\/span>\"\"<\/a>There were no takers for either of them and I wonder how many times the seller will reduce them till they get to a realistic level?<\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

STOP PRESS<\/span> The copy of ‘Airport’ from France is now somewhere in the UK!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
