All 35 issues are used, but in good to very good condition

Small degrees of wear and slight markings on some covers.

Very nice information on one of our all time classic writers

I saw that.

I only need a couple of items in the batch though, so not worth me bidding for it.

Does anyone know what the blue one is?

Very interesting. I would be interested in some of the earlier ones but I'll have to see how high the bidding goes.

I would guess that the blue one is an EBS Day programme.

I'm sure someone will know.
This is the best I can do with the image.

The first word visible is "Green". Above that are the letters "SUB"???? You can see this if you click the link above and hover the mouse over the first picture in the listing. Sorry I have not the know how to reproduce it here. Maybe Tony knows?

Tony doesn't know! :D It looks to me like a copy of Green Hedges Magazine. but I have no idea which number. The only thing I can say for definite is that it has nothing to do with the Society.

I don't remember a Green Hedges Magazine with that cover, though I might well have forgotten.

Just a thought, but could it be one of Sue Bell's 'Green Meadow Books' catalogues?

On one of the images it does look like SUE... and an 'M' after the GREEN.

I was thinking the same, Anita. It's definitely "Sue" and it is "Green M...", so I am sure you are correct.

Yes I think you've cracked it Anita. I don't see what else it could be.
