I have to say, the Wordsworth imprint is to be congratulated for the series of single author (mainly) weird fiction anthologies they published. Introduced me to a lot of good stuff. Am I missing any?

ANTHEM FOR DOOMED YOUTH
What passing bells for those who die as cattle?
Only the monstrous anger of the guns
Only the stuttering rifles rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orizons
No mockeries now for them
No prayers, nor bells.."
Wilfred Owen 1917

Penguin Books are always a joy. Here are my 1960 editions of 'Quatermass II' and 'Quatermass And The Pit' teleplays. Both absolute classics, but I don't need to tell anyone that. The cover designs are by Nigel Kneale's brother Bryan. The first had a plain cover.
