*TV/Film Tie-Ins: When the Man From UNCLE was riding high in both US and UK TV ratings in the mid-1960’s, a spin-off series of paperback novels was published, which evoke very accurately the appeal of the secret agent/spy adventure show and are still fondly remembered today. UK readers may know that Four Square published a series of 16 UK volumes of these, but may not be aware that the American versions ran to 23 volumes and thus there are 7 additional novels never published in the UK. More than a dozen UNCLE paperbacks fresh in, including the rarer UK ones The Unfair Fair Affair and The Thinking Machine Affair, as well as four of the US only ACE editions: The Hollow Crown Affair, The Invisibility Affair, The Mind-Twisters Affair and The Utopia Affair.

Since posting this update, I was very saddened to hear of the death of Robert Vaughn, the Man from UNCLE and star of TV and Film from the 1960’s until this very year. Just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge all the pleasure his performances have given me over the decades. RIP.
