Always amazes me that you have so much from your childhood. Most people "grow up" and get rid of these things likely by the time they are teenagers or at least college age. Impressive you have so much. Did you retain them or were they stored with your family all those years? Much of my wife's childhood items were with her mother and she some years ago sent them to us. Sadly, I've nothing from my youth, so her treasures are a treat, but your items are absolute gold. And that Horlicks' Spaceman Handbook must be scarce. Couldn't find a copy online in the normal outlets, sort of like Authentic S-F Handbook's scarcity, I suppose.
thank you showing this
another wonderful video - thank you Phil!

Dan Dare on 208 was my first introduction to SF, it was sponsored by Ovaltine.
