World Distributors Ltd UK

World Distributors Ltd .                                                                                         During 1950 they were reprinting various Digest books from the USA . Publications like Quarter, Exotic and Ecstasy were finding their way across the pond and being published in paperback form for the book loving Brits .
The artwork never suffered and the books are beautiful and show some UK class with bright cover art and decent quality paper being used throughout .

They have no numbering system (no suprise for a UK publication) so I have placed them order as they were printed in the US (this might not be correct but it's the best I can do for now)

I have only been able to make the list due mainly to the adverts on the back covers of each edition which shows in each case three more titles that you could purchase by WDL .

Here we go and it's off to Manchester in the good ol' UK !
