Albert Goes Through
J[ohn] B[oynton] Priestley, illustrations by Edmund Blampied
J.B. Priestley (1894-1984) was one of the most popular British novelists of his day. This is more of a novella than a novel, which imagines someone transported into a film while at the cinema.

Notes: This is a solid paperback printed on good paper. At the bottom of the rear cover it states: Every volume of the Tauchnitz Edition is published with Contiental Copyright acquired directly by purchase from the author or his representative
. Tauchnitz was an unusual publisher in that they paid copyright on British and American novels and agreed only to sell them in continental Europe. This edition is the same as the Heinemann edition, with the same illustrations, so must have been published in arrangement with them. The British Library has a collection of about 6,700 volumes published by Tauchnitz.
