Rather than write about the books or give a glossary of dustjackets which are already excellently covered in other websites found in the Links section, I am going to devote this section to a ‘treasure trove’ of extra items I have been lucky enough to obtain through people reading my book and if you would like to share any of your finds I would be pleased to include them. All I need is a photo/description and my webmaster will do the rest.
Please note I do not expect these images to be copied or used for financial or other gain but I would be pleased to help with any requests from enthusiasts.
The Observer Wall Chart
The above pictures show the wall chart . The original is slightly bigger than the reproduced poster which was done by Peregrine Books.
A Reproduced Cathedrals Book
This reproduction was from the b/w photo used to advertise the new title before it appeared in the usual format. Or is there an authentic Warne one out there ?
Observer's Catalogue
The above show the Catalogue which was used to advertise these books. I bought this from E-Bay for £100 several years ago, what would it fetch now ??? There must be some more out there !
Observer's Cards
The above picture depicts the Observer's picture cards series, in this case "Tales of the Wild Folk." Does anyone have these in their collection?
Boxed Sets
The Nature Field Series. An example of one of the boxed sets I have managed to obtain over the years. Does anyone have any others?
This picture is quite interesting. When I studied the Cathedrals photo I could only see the front and spine. However, when you look at the Cats book photo it definitely looks as though it is a complete cover rather than a ‘ mock-up ‘. The Music book was published so why not the Cats? The Cats only appears in the laminated version yet the Music was never done in a laminated edition ?
There was a black copy of the Churches book sold recently on E-Bay . Has any-one else seen one ?
