Photo of a popularity ballot form

A recent purchase of "A Sentimental Journey" came with an unannounced copy of the popularity ballot form for the 7th series. Popularity ballots were one of my favourite features of the early MLs and I've always been sad that they had discontinued them, along with the "Files on Parades", around the 12th series. I've never seen one before and was always curious on how it was structured so decided to upload it, maybe some of you would enjoy it.

>3 GusLogan: Weird. Even the link to the image fails me. I get an error message, These aren't the droids you're looking for. when I try to access the URL and I've tried three different browsers.

Maybe your internet service provider is blocking the domain name of the original link here?: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54123225850_a5ae1613e3_b.jpg

>9 mr.philistine: No, I don't think so. I can access the site it seems, it just gives me a 404 error ("These aren't the droids you're looking for.") I have no idea what is going on.

I'm always tempted to send back these forms and see if somehow it gets to someone that would respond. In reality, I'd just get a postal return to sender, I'm sure. In fiction, the great grand-nephew of the office assistant would contact me to let me know about their aunt's complete through 1955 collection still in original packaging...

>1 klamerin: Thanks for sharing, I've never seen a photo of one of these. Love finding an unexpected piece like that. I wish they had just made the Monthly Letters longer rather than switch their focus to that month's actual book. The expanded information on the text and production details is great, but the contemporary reviews were very interesting too. Some notable people were featured, like John Henry Nash and Estelle Doheny.
