TONY P'S SIGNED ANDERSON 'BIBLE'

Hi Woodsy,

This evening, while I was writing a reply to your "How did you hear about Moonbase Central" blog post, I made a reference in it to Dennis Nicholson's Anderson Memorabilia "Bible".

As I was doing it I remembered that I have a nice little souvenir - a copy of the Bible signed by the great man himself!

It happened many years ago.  I had a wining ebay bid on a batch of copies of "Thunderbirds - The Comic" and when I made contact with the seller, it turned out to be none other than Dennis.

I arranged to pick the comics up in person to save postage (and to be able to meet a legend) and made sure I took my copy of the Bible for him to sign!  Dennis was a true gent and showed me some highlights of his collection, including his full set of TV 21s and other gorgeous bits and pieces.

He said his only regret about the Memorabilia Guide was that he wasn't able to have it published in colour as, at the time, the cost would have been prohibitive.  

At least now with the internet Dennis has had the chance to have some of these great items made available to the public in colour - see for example his merchandise guides on the great Supermarionation site at http://lester.demon.nl/superm/merchand.html, particularly the Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Joe 90 guides at http://lester.demon.nl/superm/tbirds/merchand.html, http://lester.demon.nl/superm/scarlet/merchand.html and http://lester.demon.nl/superm/joe90/merchand.html.

Some pics of my autographed copy are attached.  And I've followed Dennis's message, as my collecting has never ended....

Cheers

Tony P
