I'm looking for information about Lloyd Jones's "Light from the Lamp" column such as:
1. When did it first appear?
2. How many different versions of the title graphic of the column were there, and who were the artists? (I've searched the GENII archives, but want to make sure I didn't miss anything.)
3. The GENII MagicPedia says that Jones "wrote book reviews for Genii under a column titled "Light From The Lamp" for many years and later in Tops"--so what was the span of years in both magazines?
4. Has anyone ever thought of compiling the reviews in book form? Even though many of the books that he reviewed may be out-of-print and hard-to-find, I think it would be interesting to read them. (I also enjoy looking back at the Fleming Book Reviews.)

Thanks for any info! I've started a review column for Ring 103's newsletter and am naming it "Light from the Atomic Lamp" as an homage to Lloyd Jones's column and would like to include some background information about Jones's column.

Lloyd Jones is actually on the cover of July 1978 Genii. Some of your timeline questions are answered in Bill Larsen Jr.'s write up of Lloyd on Page 411. Pete Biro follows that with a nice, longer article about Lloyd starting on page 412.
