Hardback Editions

by TiKiT on Wed 18 May 2011 11:11 AM BST | Permanent Link

I was just wondering how many editions, published as paperbacks, were also published as hardbacks? This train of thought was brought on by having just got a hardback boxed copy of T27 "Red, White & Rose" from 1967. I know there was a hardback version of "The Dam Busters" from 1955 but not sure why, something to do with the film premiere perhaps? Why was X560 "Salt Is Leaving" also published in a hardback library edition in 1966 and not other titles? Why GP91 "Secrets Of Suez" from 1957 and "Born To Hunger"? Does anyone else have other examples apart from the numerous BYO copies?

I was just reading your blog regarding hardback editions.
Just to let you know that I have a copy og G321 http://www.tikit.net/PANG321.htm 'Tales of Mystery & Imagination' by Edgar Allan Poe that is in hardback.

Hi Karl, Great to hear from someone actually talking about PAN Books. I seem to be inundated lately with 'comments' that all appear to be from China wanting to sell me sporting goods!
I'd love to know if this is an edition actually published by PAN or one that was made into a hardback by someone at home or for a library. Would it be possible to send me a scan or photo of it to tim@tikit.net ?
Thanks for taking the trouble to respond and I'm always really pleased to hear from anyone finding the site as I only do it as a hobby. All the best, Tim
