*Girls’ Picture Libraries: We have new stock for four series aimed at a slightly older demographic this week, all from 1959. (We think; a couple are actually dated, and the others seem contemporary, so we’re going with that – until someone tells us different!) Famous Romance Library is from Fleetway, featuring often striking painted covers and line-drawn done-in-one long stories with appealing artwork. Similarly, the Australian-produced Silhouette Romance Library features painted covers, book-length stories, and fine interior illustrations. Miller’s Romance Strip Stories presents cheap & cheerful drawn covers and multiple interior stories, with a heavy reliance on US reprints, and Photo-Romance Novels from World Distributors presages the later ‘photo-love’ trend of the 1970s by having badly-staged photos instead of drawings, behind painted covers. Illustrated: Famous Romance Library #145 (VG £15) and a trio of first issues: Photo Romance Novels #1 (FN £10), Romance Strip Stories #1 (VF £15) and Silhouette Romance Library #1 (VG £12).
