I’d not realised I hadn’t finished rescanning in covers and adding original artwork to all the Cecil Saint-Laurent titles I included last week. My excuse is that we were down in Kent for our Grandsons birthday plus being involved with the multimillion pound upgrade to our disused railway line which will become a surfaced walking/cycleway after we spent seven years doing over 80% of the work to get it ready. The contractors are now on site and hopefully will be finished by next year. I also found I had some non PAN Saint-Laurent titles in French from J’ai Lu, include another of his characters Captain Steel, as I like their cover style.
After including some of the Topliner titles by Christopher Leach I noticed that ‘Answering Miss Roberts’ had also been published in the States by Scholastic. I’m not sure why but they retitled it to ‘Kate’s Story’ and flip the photo image on the cover. The other addition was in the PAN Study Aids Revision Cards. I have a few but came across the ones for ‘Computer Studies’ and ‘Accountancy’ I didn’t have. No problem with the former but many excuses from the seller as to why I haven’t got the latter so I have given up on that for now.
Watching the new series of ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ on Channel 5 reminded me of the non vet trilogy from John Holgate as a “townie’ trying farming. I’ve not actually read them and from the look of my copies neither has any else but they are now on my ‘to read sometime’ shelf.
