I have new glasses at long last. I originally looked at the ones that have the chrome nosepiece, but that only made my gray hair more prominent. In momochrome, this just might be a dustjacket picture--guess I better write the book it should go around!

I consider it cheating to remove the dustjackets, but it's very beautiful.

Dustjackets are FAKE, PHONY, home-made with clip art. They're my own design and do not recreate the original jackets - I have no idea what the originals looked like.

1st ed. 1946, Hodder and Stoughton.

If you want an author who drops names you can't do better than Cecil; he names just about every living important person in America in this volume. I love his style.

"The lost classic novel of a young man's rebellion against his father, set against a backdrop of Jazz in 1940s London. A young man rebels against the stuffy future envisaged for him by his father, an upright Professor of Classics in a 'red-brick' university. He runs away from school at the age of seventeen and becomes a jazz pianist in a low dive club in one of the seamier haunts of London. "

• one of a series of 3(?) reïssues by Enjoy The Toons Records, supplementing the original 1983 Fraggle Rock album's 17 tracks with a further 7 (Muck And Goo is side 2 track 3 on the initial release).

• almost completely devoid of credits & information: the edition calls for 1ooo copies, of which 125 feature red-splattered clear yellow vinyl evocative of the Red Fraggle character. other vinyl colours signify Gobo, Boober, Mokey, Sprocket, Wembley, Marjorie the Trash Heap, a half yellow/half orange vinyl variant & a "radish" variant of clear vinyl with a clear red blob in the middle. all are in editions of 15o unique copies (though the yellow/orange variant seems relatively consistent) except for Marjorie & Sprocket, which are of 125.

• this transparent yellow/red split variant appears to've been made specifically for distribution by Think Geek (Grapevine, Texas/USA). it is unaccounted for in Enjoy The Toons' published specs. & sports a different cover photograph on its non-gatefold sleeve.
