I am happy that Judith is offering the Avon Club zines for sale because that makes it easier for people not living in the UK to buy them.

I highly recommend a lot of them because quite often Blake gets a good part in the Avon Club zines.

For Americans, if you do not mind sending American dollars cash, there is no problem in buying zines from Avon Club. That's the way I have bought all of mine. But if you mind sending cash, then Judith's site will be better for you.

I have personally found Ann Bown, the lady in charge of Avon Club, to be very helpful in deciding which zines to buy. I just ask her if there's good Blake and if she says yes, then I buy the zine.

And even though I am not an Avon fan nor a Paul Darrow fan, I do recommend the Avon Club newsletter which comes out regularly twice a year because normally there is some nice fiction in the newsletter. Also, I have bought some of the Avon Club coasters and some of the Paul Darrow calendars which are very well done. Avon Club accepts American cash without penalizing Americans so it's easy for Americans to buy things and, also, to join Avon Club. However, there is a big fee for American dollars checks. I don't know how people in other countries join, though I suspect you can send American or British cash. You do not have to be a member to buy things from Avon Club, however.

AvonPDS@aol.com is the Email.

http://www.avon-paul-darrow.co.uk is the website.

If anyone who likes Blake wonders what Avon Club zines I have, I have the following zines. (Some Avon Club zines I have sold because they didn't have enough good blake, but I have no record of that. ) These are just the ones I have saved.

Avon 1, 2, 10, 11, 13, 16, 17, and 20.

Avon Special (I highly recommend this. A wonderful 20th anniversary zine that Avon Club put out in 1998. I was most impressed.)

Standard by Seven: The Early Years (reprint zines) 1, 2, 3 and 5.
