I'm surprised I haven't never heard of that one.  Good book/movie? The Day After was shot in my hometown (and they blew up a beautiful old barn down the road from our house at the time).

I've got a similar book in from Steve in my last batch, the plot synopsis is wild.

Picked up two pbs including this one for 5 bucks (and 4 bucks shipping).  Knew they were beat, but I intended this to be a scanning copy:

I don't think even one publisher can be finished, much less all the Heade covers.  And that's not including Hardbacks or comics/strips and miscellaneous.  There just isn't any numbering system in most cases vs American series.

My mistake.  You have such an impressive collection, it doesn't seem that unlikely that you could have all of his covers.

SA brings up a good point.  I don't have any of the books on his work but I guess I assumed there's a comprehensive list somewhere.

If not, sure seems like a worthwhile endeavour to start putting one together.  There will always be misattributions and such but it still seems worthwhile to start.

It definitely looks like he set the bar for British illustrators, in much the same way that Johnson and later Maguire and McGinnis became often imitated, or rather, attempted to be imitated. GOD BLESS ...

Collecting PB's has been slow for me this summer, but these 4 just arrived this week.

This book had been on my back burner for a while.

A pretty sharp copy of Fair Prey, with intrigue about 'big-time' golf
