look and learn

[simon]

Are there any websites etc devoted to "Look and Learn'? It was a staple of my childhood, bought for me by my folks in the desparate  hope that I would become a 'dynamic boffin'...it failed but I really liked the mag....the illustrators were brilliant and the Trigan Empire was great..
...I occasionally see old annuals in charity shops which,on flicking through, make me weep like a child in a butchers' shop....
and the handy origami-style pull-out booklets that you had to collect (dinosaurs etc) were what i lived for...
yours, bathing in nostalgia

Ha me too! I have a pile of them at home and can't resist buying the annuals when i see them( and sniffing them, and crying)

I loved the pictures but rarely read the aticles

kind of like my Hustler subcription today.

Interesting, we used to get magazines similar to that.

But I think my folks gave them away.

I can't remember the title of them let alone the stories.

I've a collected Trigan Empire book from the 70s just to remind me of all that. I occasionally think of selling it but never get round to it.

The only family with any money in our street got it and my brothers and I would sit immersed when we visited.

And this from the above site links


Just as The Don Lawrence Collection strives to bring back happy memories from the past by publishing the Trigan Empire Collection, so another publishing house is to reprint some of the beautiful work from those magical sixties and seventies British educational magazines.

The name of the company says it all: Look and Learn Magazine Ltd. This recently formed publisher intends to specialise in reprinting material from Look and Learn, Ranger, The Bible Story and Treasure.

To make this possible, Look and Learn Magazine Ltd. recently purchased the complete archive of IPC, a real treasure trove with complete bound runs of the various magazines and original artwork by some of the dozens of artists who worked for Fleetway/IPC.

Plans for a variety of reprints are already advancing quickly and a website (www.lookandlearn.com) will debut in early 2006.

 Good contacts have already been established between Look and Learn Magazine Ltd. and the Don Lawrence Collection and we will try to help each other wherever possible.
This has already led to some very nice surprises?at the end of 2005, cataloguing of the artwork archive began and some beautiful illustrations that Don did for Look and Learn and The Bible Story were discovered.

Hopefully more treasures will follow. We will keep you posted!

RTD, Hustler was a bad habit of mine inn the past, but I never subscribed. I'm pretty sure it's more rubbish now that very explicit pictorial of women.

I'm like that with old copies of Razzler's Reader's Wives.
