[1] Since multiple printings of different years were made at different times, it has been found necessary to state the editions held as accurately as possible here. In these listings, for 20th century years, where no edition is expressly stated, the original Foulsham edition is indicated

[2] On the inside of the front cover of this issue, prices are printed in shillings and old pence, with decimal money equivalents shown in parentheses, suggesting that this printing was made around 1970, in the immediate run up to decimalisation

[3] This appears to have been the normal binding colour from the 1984 issue onwards, suggesting this printing is from late 1983 or later
