Yeah - i had to withdraw as sadly i had to find £300 for nursery costs. Don't know why they withdrew the whole thing though. It does look like the lot was withdrawn - perhaps Hugh Lamb contacted them himself. |

It's so sad that one of the big libraries didn't step in for the entire collection. The thought of his entire collection being dismantled like that ....

Anyway, great that you picked them up, and at only 100 quid. Nobody bid on them...so maybe it was meant to be that I got them? Richard Dalby thinks the UK signed TIDE OF TERROR is worth a bit as it was Lamb's first book, dedicated to Haining and it was through Lamb writing to him that the book actually came to be. |

 It's strange to have these books, I'd rather that Peter was alive still editing, but I'm glad I saved them from going to a dealer and being split up. |

That is very cool to see Mr. Haining's bookplate, and an inscription from Mr. Lamb! Really brings to life what was going on behind the scenes during the period.
I remember well when I purchased a copy of the Stein & Day edition of The Ghouls using my allowance money. My mother, I seem to recall, was less than happy with my choice of purchase but my parents felt I had the right to do what made me happy. That was an unusual attitude for parents to adopt in the early 1970s.
Another great thread!
cheers, H.
