"Richard Scarry's Best Story Book Ever" By Richard Scarry (First published in 1970 by The Hamlyn Publishing Group Limited, Third Impression 1972) Part 4

This book is a compilation of several older stories by the famous American author/illustrator Richard Scarry (1919-1994), ranging from 1950 to 1968. This explains the variation in drawing styles and structure in the stories themselves. Apart from the great colours and compositions, the clarity in the stories and visual humour Scarry's drawing skills are just incredible! Every object is so well observed, the shapes,textures and patterns so accurate, yet the pictures appear to be simple and easy to the eye - just perfect for the young reader. Just look at those frogs above - exciting, funny and yet quite realistic! Classic.

"The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics" Illustrations By Various Artists (published by The Book People Ltd, Little, Brown and Company, London 2003 - originally published by Macdonald in 1969 and 1971) - Part 3

This book I borrowed from a friend of mine so that I could take a few scans. It is a republication of the original "Beatles Illustrated Lyrics" from the late sixties. Although it contains a lot of the original pictures - especially the Alan Aldridge ones - the design of the book is absolutely terrible! I couldn't even bring myself to scan the cover! Among the many contributions by various artists I found these by film director Philippe Mora (born in Paris, 1949 but grew up in Australia) which I thought have interesting colours and quite odd compositions! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippe_Mora
