BOUND VOLUMES OF RUGBY WORLD

 88.jpg (30201 bytes) 89.jpg (29963 bytes) 92.jpg (64372 bytes)

1960 - 1972. The official Rugby World binding for these years was in the form of a book. Copies were collected through the year and then sent to Rugby World in the January for binding. The complete issues were then bound into book form with end flypapers (blank sheets of paper added to front and back), The spine had gold block lettering with "Rugby World" and the date. Click on the images above, this style is on the far left of the left hand image. Click on the dates below for more information on the contents on the magazines for that year. Currently we only have one bound volume in this style available.

1973 - 1992 1985 - 1992 1993 - 2003

1973 - 2003. The official Rugby World binding for these years was in the form of loose binder. The complete issue was inserted into the binder using a removable steel bar in the centre pages to hold the magazines in the binder. The magazines are therefore in mint condition within the binder and can be removed if so required. The spine has gold block lettering with "Rugby World" on it. Click on the images above for a closer look, this style is in the middle and right the left hand image. The size of Rugby World changed in 1980 to A4 size and the binder followed suit.
