Garfield
books in the UK were mostly produced by Ravette Books
with a few specials by Knight Books and Ballantine Books. The Ravette
standard size series started in 1982 at two per year (with the exceptions
of 1984 and 1992 where four were published), until their licence to publish
Garfield books expired in June 2018 and ended their series at 69 numbered
books. From time to time Ravette also produced various other landscape
books, notably longer landscapes and the "Garfield's Guide to"
series.
In 2001, the Ravette standard series changed cover format to a new design but this only lasted for four books. The 2003 issues changed format again, very similar to the original format. Nos 1 - 14 although issued by Ravette, did not actually say so on the covers. Consequently, after the issue of No 15, Ravette reprinted the first 14 books with different covers (and their logo !), as shown in the Reprint Gallery further below.  =
