Nat Gould & Mellifont “Racing Novels”

July 10, 2021July 14, 2021notinheckmondwikebookshopLeave a Comment

A precursor to Dick Francis? Must admit I had not heard of him. The “A Racecourse Tragedy” seems pretty rare if you check the price on ABE. These “Mellifont” paperbacks are not in the best condition two have a piece of the spine missing and one, “A Stable Mystery”, like the Donald when serving in the forces is concerned, has no spine at all.

Mellifont Racing Novels

I think 1949, one of the first in the series by Frank Brendon is probably the rarest but is in the worse condition the series seems to be mainly Nat Gould with a couple by Edward Woodward and one each by Vann Larr and Frank Brendon. The price is for a single book (specify which one) delivered to any UK address, not by horse.

Confessions of A – Window Cleaner/Driving Instructor/Holiday Camp

July 2, 2021July 14, 2021notinheckmondwikebookshopLeave a Comment

I have to admit, though well aware of the genre, both in film and book I can’t remember watching or reading any of the series. I could be unfair to either Tim Lea, or Benny Hill to put them in the same category. Bit today I think they make a “jokey” gift for window cleaners or driving instructors.

SPARE the ROD

June 29, 2021July 5, 2023notinheckmondwikebookshopLeave a Comment

These are to covers for the second and third Panther editions, could there possibly be anyone who thinks Max Bygraves adds anything to the cover. I don’t see him as a British Glenn Ford.

Spare the Rod – Michael Croft 2nd edition

Panther 1958 This in my view is the better cover than the film cover, I presume it predated the film. Odd copy this the front cover and spine are near fine the back cover vg and internally vg- Price includes UK Posting – For other postal rates to more distant locations please contact me.

£5.50

Spare the Rod – Michael Croft 3rd Edition

The 2nd edition cover was painted by Josh Kirby, this cover is unsigned, would you sign it when you had to do the 50’s equivalent of photo shop and drop Max into the frame. Though it is the “film” cover so someone might want me to post it to a UK address.

I don’t know if Collins were trying to copy the Penguin with these lack of imagination covers, made even more sad when you see the Canadian covers on the same book.
