GALAXY – Update

The covers for this period are unusual (check out the detail on March 1970) but some of my favourites.

This list may not be complete, just what I listed so far. The contributors may be complete, or just those on the cover, or none, they may be the full name or surname only. I have priced them as at least vg, any that were not have been binned, but I will reduce price if they have faults.

The Welsh Peaks – W A Poucher

W. A. Poucher’s guides, first published in the 1960s, are some of the most popular books for fellwalkers, climbers and scramblers ever published.

Aspiring landscape photographers will find a chapter of essential tips in each book to help them too. This copy is near fine and available for £2.50.

The SCOTS Magazine

I have never had these before, obviously haven’t made their way south, but was attracted by the early covers. A pity they didn’t keep it up, probably because they ran out of mountains to stand on.

The Scots Magazine 1977 04 055-COLLAGE

The Scots Magazine 1977 10 061-COLLAGE

These are all pic from the covers, mainly 1977 but a few newer ones as well. Not a patch on the old covers.

Tales of Wonder #7 Summer 1939

Tales of Wonder and Super Science #7 1939 033

This is what I have a pulp with no cover but notice the article by Arthur C Clarke “We can rocket to the Moon – Now”, then notice the date, 1939. I have searched out the original cover and have attached a copy to the book.

Tales of Wonder #7

It is items like this that present a problem of pricing. I have found three copies offered for sale at £82, £102 and £123, there could well be others out there. The text and the rest of the book is tight and in good condition, but with no front cover. I have found out what the cover looks like. other authors are John Beynon, Coutts Brisbane, Frank Edward Arnold, David H Heller, Maurice G Hugh and Geo. C Wallis, all I admit I have not read. So, what is it worth. In trying to find a mention of this article (unsuccessfully) I came across a fascinating article about Arthur and his friends, Arthur was 20 at the time. https://www.airspacemag.com/space/hms-moon-rocket-3143/ showing how advanced some were thinking at the time.HMS Moon Rocket
