Most of the paperback book cover were signed ROY CARNON. There are a few unsigned, which I have attributed to Roy. If you know different please tell me and I will delete.
Many thanks to Rog Peyton, for contributing many images and helping to complete the above collection. Go to his site: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/rogpeyton/ for
larger, higher-resolution images, also showing art from many other paperback book covers. All genres including Science Fiction & Fantasy.
A number of the books are by author Edgar Rice Burroughs who was well known for inventing new words, often as anagrams of existing words, or existing words
spelled backwards. Interestingly Roy Carnon operated his artistic business under the trade name of YORDERF, phone number RENown 6731. "YORDERF" is
own abbreviated name "Fred Roy" backwards !
