Collecting the entire Gold Key series in one handy volume, this is a really attractive annual.

HHaving seen a few copies, it is an annual which suffers slightly in that the pages aren't as secure as they could be, though having two board games and a few text features works in its' favor – the beautiful cover artwork surrounds a wonderful package of entertainment from the tail end of the western craze. It isn't stated in print, but the endpaper is most likely the work of Hodges as well as the cover.
