Target Proofs The Proof covers in this image have all unused for one reason on another, we have the Twin Dilema cover that wasnt approved, the Greatest Show which had the wrong name on the spine, the Three Doctors which on the front had an airdate of 1872 and the Sea Devils, which has to have been not used just for common decency, its a horrible colour scheme ( i think)

Target Proofs These are my earliest proof covers, the one at the top is the original 1st edition proof with the ISBN number on the spine that the first 3 Target novels had, I just wish i had the ZARBI one as thats my favourite CA cover, they are all signed by the artist as they were in his collection.

Target Proofs I was very please to get the Dino Invasion one from Jeff, he found it after i asked him to have a look on the offchance he had any left at the time i bought the original artwork of Fang Rock off him, the other 3 were obtained from my highschool in the early 80s when Terrance Dicks came to do a talk and there was a TARGET book exhibition

Target Proofs Another 4 i got from the highschool , i also have the INFERNO one as well, but i dont know where ive put that, i was so lucky at school as during the Terrance Dicks events there were 3 of us who always use to get to meet the man on our own, there was a couple of great chaps Eric Gunn who use to make FANTASTIC very small models out of plasticene and they were just astounding and he was a great artist too boot, Ralph Rankin who like me was a Dr Who nutter, but maybe not in need of help as much as i was , oh and i was there too, i knew there was 3 :-)

Target Proofs Now im not 100% sure where the early ones came from on this photo, but i have a suspicion it was highchool again, im pretty sure Eric Gunn got quite a few too, as i said before, we had a great school and a great head librarian called Mr Robertson who helped us all he could :-) even when i left school and was at collage studying for my cookery course i went up when Uncle Terrance came back again for a talk and was thrilled to bits when i was allowed in the auditorium to listen to him and was proud as proud can be when during the talk, someone asked him a question he couldnt answer and his get out was to introduce me and ask me for the answer, i hadnt seen him for over a year, but he remembered my name and made me feel a million dollars. The Web Planet cover is there ( i have a lot of Mr Pearson proof covers) because quite frankly, its my favourite piece of artwork ever and it needed to be shown :-)
