Regy slips
Another thing with the regy slips,was that some fool usually put too much of the Gloy glue on the slip when pasting it in the book,as a result,once dried,loads of pages would be stuck together! Our phg used to go nuts!

More of a service in those days dont you all agree
I started in68 and took home £10 a week. The best bit of the job was tacking up the horse and backing him into the cart.
