Something I’ve been meaning to do for ages is to take a look at the 1980s hardback reprints of some of the early Gerald Seymour books.
In the late 1980s the first ten novels from Harry’s Game to At Close Quarters were in print from Fontana paperbacks and had uniform photographic covers.
The latest hardback books at that point, A Song in the Morning (1986) and At Close Quarters (1987), which were published by Collins Harvill had the same cover designs.
Some of the earlier novels then got hardback reprints with the same cover designs published around 1987 and 1988. I manged to find three of them in a bookshop at a discounted price, namely Harry’s Game, Kingfisher and The Contract.
I’m curious if any of the other books also got these hardback editions. If anyone is aware of any others please get in touch.
