Welcome to a new decade.<\/span><\/strong> In the late 1970’s and early 80’s there were many campaigns for disarmament and the ‘World Disarmament Campaign’ used an extract from ‘North-South’ in a leaflet they printed in 1981. HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/span> is a link to it and other related items on the same theme including more titles in the ‘PAN World Affairs’ series. I’ve not heard about the campaign for a while but apparently it is still going HERE<\/span><\/a><\/strong> but doesn’t seem to have had anything added to the website since 2006.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

I spotted this ‘eye catching NOT<\/strong>‘ poster for ‘The Godfather’<\/span><\/strong><\/a> on eBay in Australia but on looking at the price I might give it a miss.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

NB<\/span><\/strong> Just noticed it’s now dropped by $50 but still not tempted.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

I mentioned I was getting PAN 74 “Flames Coming Out of the Top’<\/span><\/strong><\/a> with the second elusive book jacket as a Christmas present to myself. Well it was there amongst my presents (no sign of X705 Santa!) and I’ve re-scanned all the three variant covers plus the three for PAN 90 “Action For Slander’<\/span><\/strong><\/a> On checking where they were printed I see all of the copies of PAN 74 state the text set up is by Richard Clay and Company Ltd but printed by Firmin Didot in France while the first two edition of PAN 90 are also printed by Firmin Didot while the third is printed by Richard Clay.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n

Just looking up Firmin Didot I see they are still going and they are under the name Societe Nouvelle Firmin Didot. Around 1800 the  family owned the most important print shop and font foundry in France. Pierre Didot, the printer, published a document with the typefaces of his brother, Firmin Didot, the typeface designer.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Talking of dust jackets makes me wonder if I’ve become allergic to dusty paperbacks as ever since I’ve been moving stacks around after Christmas I’ve had an awful cold but then again so has Jackie and she keeps well away from them!<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
