British Update: Love Story Digests – Blue Rosette, Honeymoon and Film Picture Stories
*Girls’ Picture Libraries: Strolling on through the romantic picture libraries which were targeted at the older female readership, we turn our rose-tinted glasses to D.C. Thomson’s Blue Rosette – painted covers wrapped around striking interior art – World Distributors’ Illustrated Romance Library (original covers with a plethora of reprints from US publishers inside), and a singleton from Pearson, Film Picture Library #2, with a photo-cover, but comic strip interiors adapting the cinematic epic ‘The Heart of a Man’, starring Frankie Vaughan and Anne Heywood. (No? Us neither.) We have a selection from Blue Rosette ranging from #1 to #75 and Illustrated Romance from #9 to #21. Depicted are Blue Rosette #1 VG £25, Illustrated Romance #10 FN £9 and lonely Film Picture Stories #2 FN £9. If you’re still searching for love after that, you’ll find plenty more in our online catalogue.
