Scandal

ORBIS 1990,91 set of 36 partworks

Inside Stories of Power, Intrigue and Corruption

Quite rare this one. Seedy tales of the famous, the powerful and the rich - unlucky enough to have their indiscretions exposed and aired under the full media spotlight.  Individual issues are priced according to their international interest.

There were at least two releases of this and sadly the numbering changed a little between them. We list the differences as "a" and "b" versions where the first is 1990, the second is 1991 copyright. The number in brackets () after each title indicates availability.
