Roger Wardale told us once, at a TARS meeting, the impact of covers. He was a Primary School teacher, and kept a full set of the Jonathan Cape books on a shelf in the classroom. As the years went by, his classes got less willing to try these large green books.
Then Red Fox arrived. He said there was immediate terrific enthusiasm for the books - even though the content was the same as the big ones.
Perhaps Red Fox in turn has become out of date.
