Another little treat for you. This is the original Puffin Club bookplate design. You would get a sheet of eight of these on pre-gummed paper. I think this has a lovely old school charm about it. It certainly felt like your books were safer when you lent them to friends (didn't stop them from getting scuffed to hell though - you know who you are!!!!)
The new Puffin Post club has revived this design with a lot of colour and the addition of their puffin mascot - as yet unnamed.
This site is dedicated to the original Puffin Club founded in 1967 and it's creators. What I post is a mixture of reminiscences and restored artwork.
Almost all of the old copies of Puffin Post were owned and loved by children - and the ravages of time weigh heavy on their paper covers. Some of the postings are works in progress, or may be updated when better quality images/news come to light.
Please contact me to share your images and memories - I will be happy to breathe new life into treasured memorabilia.
