Billy Bunter's Holiday Annual 1967 (September 1966)

This book was a one-off, published by Odhams at 9/6, with hard board covers. The front and back cover had the same colour picture of Bunter and friends sitting down to a study spread. I presume that after the demise of the Billy Bunter and Tom Merry Annuals, this was an attempt to resurrect the tradition of an annual volume of Charles Hamilton's stories in the vein of the original Greyfriars Holiday Annual.

(Note that Odhams Press was merged with George Newnes publishers and Fleetway Publications - previously the Amalgamated Press, publishers of the Magnet - in 1963 to form IPC Media. The organisations retained their separate identities, but this explains why Odhams could publish material owned by Fleetway Publications).

You can read the complete contents of this annual at the Friardale site in Acrobat format.
