This lot comprises two cardboard boxes containing a substantial collection of approximately 80-100 hardback annuals and children’s books. The collection is predominantly English-language, primarily dating from the late 1960s through the early 1980s, with some examples ranging up to 2018. The books feature a diverse array of popular culture subjects including comic characters (e.g., Beano, Superman, 2000 A.D.), television tie-ins (e.g., Look-in, Muppet Show, Starsky and Hutch, Grange Hill), sports (e.g., Rugby League, Charles Buchan’s Soccer), and general adventure and story annuals (e.g., Blue Peter, Guinness Book of Records, Whoopee!, Fireball XL5, James Bond 007). Materials consist primarily of paper-covered pictorial boards over hardback bindings. Notable titles include “The Magic Roundabout,” “Princess Tina Pony Book,” and “Tintin au pays de l’or noir” (Tintin in the Land of Black Gold).
