The only Not in Heckmonwike Heckmondwike second hand book shop
Three photos have the location and vehicle details on back and two are stamped Leeds City Transport. The postcard is the bus at an improbable angle. All five for £2.50. That’s an incredibly cheap price of 50p each.
I haven’t a clue where I got them from, the bus photos are all postcard size the train is a lot bigger.
I have had no one come into my shop asking for this book – but I live in hope.
They are not all “Worlds of IF Science Fiction”, one is “if Worlds of Science Fiction” which is a UK version published by Strato in Leicester by arrangement.
I was listing all the authors in each digest, but as I have about 1000 different digests in my shop I have decide to list just what I have, so I have a chance of finding them if anyone wants a particular copy.
Some really “cracking” covers but can you spot the one UK cover, also note the contrast in styles particularly between Nov ’68 and Nov 72.
Only one of these listings is only “good”, most are vg or vg+ I have priced them all at £2.50, don’t hesitate if you want more information, but if you get a chance please come and browse but check my Facebook page for opening times.
I will put them in alphabetic order the next update. If you want to see more covers look at my older posts.
Dalesman is a British monthly regional magazine, based in Skipton, and serving the English county of Yorkshire. Its first edition was published in March 1939, under the original title of The Yorkshire Dalesman: A Monthly Magazine of Dales’ Life and Industry. Although originally only serving the Yorkshire Dales, the magazine was soon expanded to cover the whole county of Yorkshire, with a particular focus on the countryside and over the years it has become a northern institution.It remains the biggest selling regional consumer magazine in the UK and Yorkshire’s best selling magazine.
I have 981 Dalesman titles in stock including the first one from 1939. I am a bit sparse on the last couple of years but only have about 5 or 6 dates missing in between. They are the ideal birthday or anniversary gift for Yorkshire Folk.
I do have other Dalesman publications other than the magazines so if you are looking for any particular date or other publication please ask me. I am not cheap but my prices are realistic.
Many of the covers make excellent cards and are great for framing.
A bit of a loose classification, but what else can I call them?
Yasco Peatolin – A Tale of Poor Lovers – (Not sure if it means financial status or sexual prowess) £2.50
Jerry Weil – The Pleasure Girls – The intimate novel about women in the big city – £5.50
ANTOINE – Marie-Gisele Landes – A Coldly Promiscuous girl and a desperate infatuation for a middle aged seducer £2.50 SOLD
Kirk Westley – Shanty Boat Girl £5.00
The Twisted Loves of Nym O’Sullivan – Mark Tryon – The bitter truth about a lesbian who hated men £7.50
Jack Hanley – Let’s Make Mary – £5.00
TELENY – A story of a forbidden relationship – Anonymous but sometimes attributed to Oscar Wilde £5.00
I’M NO GOOD – a realistic novel of youth in revolt – Peter W Denzer £3.00
MOONEY – William Brown Meloney £2.50
How about this for a challenge, have a pint in all the pubs, the ones that still exist that is (the book is in the shop but I think there are about 80 listed though that was 1968 just a year after breathalysers were introduced and folks still went to pubs).
I do have many more titles in this series, but I’ll be damned if I know where I have put them. This is unusual in that it is a hard back. Each pub included has a photo and description.
If you are having difficulty finding your way about and have a bicycle I have just the map for you.
I can do a bargain package of book and map for £5.00 but you will have to provide your own bicycle and pay for your own pints.
SORRY Just noticed the map will not help as the book covers Anglesey, Caernarvon, Denbigh and Flint.
I don’t think you have to be called Sherley to read it and as its the 15th edition it must have had a wider audience. If you are called Shirley, or have a friend called Shirley who is into dogs, or even a friend not called Shirley who is into dogs then I would be willing to sell this copy for the bargain price of £4.00
Eden Phillpott – The Broom Squires 1932
Temple Thurston – Discord 1933
Mrs Belloc Lowndes – The Reason Why 1932
I think four are UK editions with different contents that US editions for same year and month, but just to complicate the issue, many have a UK price overprinted on US editions. However to make matters easier all mine are priced at £2.50.
I think I may have listed some of these earlier, if I did the covers will be on a blog.
