Over the past couple of days I've been compiling information on Angus McBride in order to write him up for the Look and Learn website blog and for an obituary in The Guardian. I thought I'd share the following list of his illustrated books that I compiled. I've clumped a number of illustrated role-playing books together at the end until I can get full details. As it stands, the list runs to over 150 titles which is an astonishing body of work. I've compiled some links below which might be of interest if you want to see more of Angus' work.Angus McBride obituary at Look and Learn.
