The September issue of Book and Magazine Collector contains a diverse range of genres. We focus on the 70^th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, the greatest and most important battle of the 20^th Century which saved the island from German invasion. There are many books of history, autobiography, and official records and we survey them all with an eye to building a collection to celebrate this great event.

With book sales of over 10 million copies in dozens of languages, John Irving is up there with the greats of modern American literature. We survey his considerable output and list all his books with their prices.

The popular detective series Nancy Drew is celebrating her 80^th birthday this year and we give you the complete run-down on the UK versions of this popular children’s classic complete with prices.

We also look at the ten most important English books on the Age of American Exploration published up to 1628, examine the twelve meticulously crafted novels written by Elizabeth Taylor as well as focussing on Crime in the shape of T.A. Plummer, the incredibly prolific thriller writer of the 1930s, 40s and 50s.

All this plus our regular features, Saleroom Reports, New Collectables and part II or our 20-part series Guide to Book Collecting make September’s Book and Magazine Collector a must-read!
