This looks like a good price to me, for all six Malory Towers books in original jackets and all in good condition - some are first editions apparently.
True, it's £50 plus £4.50 postage...but I still think that's a pretty good price if someone wants them badly enough!

Er-hmm, I just read the description further down the page...Rob Houghton wrote:This looks like a good price to me, for all six Malory Towers books in original jackets...
NOT worth £49.50.All were published by Methuen, and apart from the last have photocopy dustjackets, in protective sleeves.

I somehow thought it was too good to be true! Didn't read that far down!

Re: All six Malory Towers hardbackbooks with wrappers for sa
Actually, when I think about it, the six books without dust jackets might easily sell for about £10 apiece in a not-cheap-but-not-overly-expensive second hand bookshop. So in that sense, it is a reasonable deal if you just want old copies that look nice. But for someone who might miss the fine print and think they're getting a real bargain, it's not exactly fair.

I think it is misleading as it mentions dustjackets several times before saying they're photocopies at the end. Particularly in that it gives you the details of each edition separately and only after that tells you the truth.
