Unknown Illustrator?

Post by honesty »

Hi Everyone,

I am currently reading 'The Mystery of the Strange Messages' an there is a very detailed drawing on the front cover. However I know the follwing information:
Publisher: Mammoth
Published: 1957
Reprinted: 1997


Anyone point me in the right direction??

Can't you type the ISBN into Google of the book and see what comes up...?

Do you know the publisher and/or ISBN number of the book??? If you give me this information I might be able to track down the illustrator...
Thanks,

:D :D

EDIT:
Just had a quick glance in the cave at the book at the book you inquired about and there was no Mammoth book published in 1997 (Dean), but in 1996 there was a Mammoth book printed - is this the one you mean?

Apparently, Lilian Buchanan illustrated this book.
