Subject: RE: What is a 'bumper'?
You may well be right, Michael. It's a book title usage that seems to have been popular before the war (WWII) and then fallen away. When I was a kid and had some of these children's annuals - usually around Christmas time - I never gave the actual much thought! Just assumed it meant "bigger than ever", etc.
