Dust jackets and cover designs of the "...Reginald Perrin" novels and videotapes.

There can be no greater testament to the success and continuing appeal of a novel to successive generations than that novel never going out of print. Such books are the Reginald Perrin novels by David Nobbs. Since the first edition, entitled "The Death Of Reginald Perrin" appeared in 1975, and helped enormously by the successful BBC serialisations, bookstores have always been able to stock "The Fall And Rise...", "The Return...", "The Better World..." and "The Legacy Of Reginald Perrin".
This page aims to bring together for the first time the cover artwork and photographs of all editions of these classic novels. There are still gaps in this collection, but if you have an edition not featured here, please email me with a scan of the cover, together with details of its year of publication. At the bottom of this page are the covers of the videotapes, past and present, and the DVDs.
