Good Evening
I collect childrens books, specifically those by W.E. Johns (Biggles etc). These were published mainly by Hodder and Stoughton and Brockhampton Press but printed by C. Tinling and Co of Liverpool until 1958 when they must have moved to Prescott where they continued to print W.E. Johns books until the 70's. As a collector I come across unusual printings of volumes for which little or no information exists, in such cases I attempt to fill in the gaps and pass the information on to other collectors. Ideally I would like to know if Tinling kept records of their work and whether such records still exist and are accessible. I live in Fife but any pointers in the right (or any) direction would be much appreciated.
Regards

Good afternoon,
ReplyDeleteI have an early edition (undated) of the first 'Saint' novel by Leslie Charteris - 'Meet The Tiger'.
It is in hardback blue cloth boards, and marked as 'Printed in England by C. Tinling & Co. Liverpool, London and Prescot'.
It is ex-libris from the Red Circle.
I trust this is of some help to you in your research and wish you the best of luck in your endeavour,
Yours sincerely,
Kev Thorne.
