\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span>Three blogs ago I posted a ‘rough’ of a cover by Hans Helweg and asked if anyone recognised it?

In case no one else has <\/span>done so yet, I can tell you, because I wrote the blurbs for it and still have <\/span>the cover, though not the book. It was for ‘TO LIVE IN DANGER’<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em> by Bryan <\/span>Magee (Pan X184), which I remember as being a good thriller” Tony was featured in another blog HERE<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>I have been collecting up the Piccolo books I have called ‘FLASH’ titles as they have one across the cover. They are mainly jokes, riddles, limericks, poems and ‘funny’ newspaper cuttings and can be seen HERE. <\/span><\/strong><\/a>There are several other titles in the same genre but without the ‘flash’ and I’ve added a couple on the page. There are a few more titles I will add if I come across them but they are not that high on my priority list!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

I was really pleased to find some preliminary sketches from Hans Helweg for his Wiibur Smith<\/span><\/strong> <\/a>covers. I’ve added them to the page I made for him and his ‘Golden Pan Award’ I also found three photographs of Smith in his study that I added at the bottom and if you look carefully you can just about see the award on his desk.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
