Avon's Christmas Bumper Book of Fun is a gen Blake's 7 36-page anthology.

It was meant to be published in December 1995, but was available instead in January or February 1996. Sue Chadwick apologized in a tongue-in-cheek manner for the lateness in Avon Club Newsletter #62 and wrote: "I hereby rename it 'Avon's New Year Book of Fun.'"

Chadwick also wrote in Avon Club Newsletter #62:

Don't forget to buy the bumper book of fun. Mr Darrow is on 2% commission for each slim volume sold! (It was 2% wasn't it, Ann?) You can imagine how displeased he will be if he doesn't make at least a grand!

Fan Comments

I'm very sorry, Sue, but I can't stand puzzle books and I cant think offhand of anyone I would give one to for Christmas (my sons wouldn't be interested either, fans though they are) so I apologize here and now that I shall not contribute to it nor buy it, but I hope the enterprise is a big success.
