Following on from the critically aclaimed All My Pelicans: Part 1, here are the rest of them:
By chance rather than design, I actually think Part 2 is even better and not just because it's bigger. If my memory serves me well (and do correct me if you know better) then the first two are by Germano Facetti. The next two are by Fletcher while Electronic Computers is Fletcher/Forbes/Gill.
The next three are Bruce Robertson's, who I've mentioned before. I have a feeling that Islam (exceptional!) and The Queen's Governement are by Lewis Bassingthwaighte.
I remember picking up The Liberal Hour and knowing instinctively it was a Birdsall, as are the previous three. Education looks like it could have been Birdsall but I know it's not (can't remember who though) while The Normal Child (also Birdsallesque) is, as I've mentioned before, Edwin Taylor along with Relativity… and I think John Citizen…
With special thanks to Ben, David and Michael for linking to Part 1.
Blimey.
The Design Museum should do an Ace Jet 170n series.

Oh wow! Islam is my favorite in this set, but so many are great.

Hello again - came here this time googling Lewis Bassingthwaighte after picking up The Queen's Government... he seems to have come from nowhere and vanished again after designing that cover! (And Islam, possibly - but I can confirm that The Queen's Government is credited to him)

oh, mystery solved, it's not Lewis, it's Lewin, I made the same mistake as you!
