After finding a 1981 Catalog from the "Time Lord, Inc" of Brooklyn, NY owned by Ed Novak, I now have a new list of classic hardcover (Wingate and WH Allen) books sold in the USA in 1981. This is 4 years before my company, Bundles from Britain, got the exclusive distribution deal from Lyle Stuart. This opens the door to more possible non-library copies that might be in the New York area and beyond! This is breaking news! The hardcover guide will be updated soon but here are the books that were so...

On today's show we explore the WH Allen hardcovers published and sold in 1985! 13 books with one reprinted book.

The hardcover run will end in the middle of 1988 so how are sales? US distribution happened for most of these titles affecting their value. Tony Whitt, the host of the Doctor Who Target Boo...
