Both drawings and photographs have been used to illustrate the Jenningsbooks, although the photogrphs were just used for the covers. Quite a number of different illustrators have worked on the Jennings books. We have a complete list of Jenning illustrators, although our information on many of the illustrators is limited at this time. Mays Collins illustrated the Jennings books from 1958 through the 1960s. We have little information on her at this time besides her work on Jennings. We also note illustrations by Rodney Sutton for Jennings, Of Course! (New ed, London: Macmillan, 1991). We note that some editions were illustrated with photographs as illustrated on this page. We are not sure at this time what the source of these photographs were. We do not know if these photographs were posed just for the book covers or perhaps are from the 1960s TV series. A British reader writes, "I cannot recall a Jennings TV programme that went with the book. If it was linked to a TV serial then it would have said this on the cover. It does not so I have always been under the impression that the pictures were posed for the books." The editions with the photographs on the cover were printed in the late 70s. Take Jennings for Instance was originally published in 1958, but the cover here was to a 1979 edition (figure 4). There is no indication in the book as to the source of the cover photograph. Given the boys' hair styles, it was surely taken at about the time the edition was published. Thse photographic covers show the same boys at about the same age in the same uniforms.

Many of the Jennings books have been republished, often with different covers, although the inside illustrations have less commonly been changed.
