Dandy 60th Birthday Issue - 'Personal Presentation Copy'
Posted: 03 Feb 2015, 18:52
Hi all,
Does anyone know about 'Personal Presentation' copes of the Dandy's 60th Birthday issue? I've recently purchased this as a curio addition to my collecting but have never seen one before.
From the description inside, I can only assume they sent out copies for companies to try and gain advertising revenue. Does anyone else have one? Does anyone know anything more about it or how many they might have sent out?
There is a description inside -
Desperate Dan and the Dandy may be 60 years old but Dandy readers are still as young as ever! Every week 451,000 (Youth TGI 1997) young fans throughout the country eagerly await their copy.
For 60 years, The Dandy has proved to be an ever popular high spot in the week for many of the young (and the not so young!) members of the family. Even in competition with the video culture of today, there is a place for traditional humour and entertainment.
So many of us have grown up with The Dandy that today, it has something of a cult status. Stake your place in one British tradition that is still proving popular today. If your target audience is in the 7-15 year old bracket, give our advertisement representatives a call.
The back of my copy says "Dandy Represented by Madison Bell Ltd, 3 St Peter's Street, Islington Green, London, N1 8JD" and then a phone number and a fax number.
