Continuing my discussion of the artists who worked on the Star Weekly Novel from 1938 to 1973. I have identified the artist for 700 of the approximately 1900 issues. There are 99 artists who worked on these 700 issues, 86 with less than 10. Three have more than 50 issues, including William Book (1906-1966) who did 107 of them from 1941 to 1956. Only information on Book I can find is that he was born in North Bay, Ontario.
Here are three of his covers.
January 28, 1950 - Image of a Murder by Paul Capon (1912-1969), T. V. Boardman, 1949. Two illustrations.
July 26, 1952 - Having No Heart by Elisabeth Margetson (1898-?), Ward Lock, 1952. One illustration.
July 7, 1945 - Short Leash by Bertrand Shurtleff (1897-1967), Bobbs-Merrill, 1945. Two illustrations.
