A Book at Blogtime

 The Anderson paperbacks kind of fall into the shadow of the annuals for me, so it was good to be reminded of them. Heres my meagre collection. I also have three duplicates  of the copies below, which are free to a good home if anybody doesn't have any.
 Also got a copy of thunderbirds Operation Asteroids witha  rather moth eaten dustjacket in hardback. I also have Operation Asteroids somewhere without the dustjacket.
Have to admit to not having read any of them, mostly because of the age of the paperacks and the fragility of the spines. I hate to see books being opened and the pages pressed flat on a spread to make reading easier! Hearing the spines crunch makes my blood run cold!

Yeah, have to admit nothing worse than hear that sound and worst find a section of pages come out!

I've got Operation Asteroids with dust jacket but not the other hardback - Lost World I think it's called. Knew someone who had it but minus dust jacket.
Never had the other Lady Penelope ones either.

I have them all, though I have faked the dustjacket on some of them. I have enjoyed reading them too.
