The Enid Blyton Society

I've seen this eBay listing for a few months now, and he never has any success in selling the book, even though he's only asking £4 starting bid. I think that's not surprising.

My question to you all is - would YOU buy this book, or would you be put off by the photos?! I won't say anything more - take a look for yourselves!

Personally, the photos put me off buying the book! I'm sure that's why he isn't able to sell it!

Did he think his legs would help to attract buyers??

Image #2 is particularly revolting.

That's the one I think has put buyers off!!

Er, quite... there's a line in a Crowded House song, "Read me like a book that's falling down between your knees," but this is decidedly less of a turn-on.

This guy is STILL trying to flog his book at the same starting price...with the same photos! Do you think someone ought to suggest he retakes the pics...?

I suppose it could be suggested to him, but personally why bother, he'll cotton on at some point maybe!

Of course, he might be thinking its a sure way to attract a female buyer!!

Love the "fur"!

The second photo is even worse! I can only think that he is being deliberately suggestive!

Hmmmm.Had a look at his other offerings.They all seem to be displayed normally.

Could be wrong,but it seems that just the books for younger readers are displayed in this way - perhaps because of their larger size?

He must just feel that by placing the book on his lap, it stays still and he can take a better photo. Wouldn't be so bad if he'd got trousers on I guess!!!!

I actually think he's doing it on purpose - and its even more telling if he only does this with children's books! No one would shove a book between their legs and take a photo innocently!

Now I'm really feeling a bit sick.

Sorry about that! I've thought this was a bit sickening for months...but maybe I'm just reading too much into it. Anyway - it would certainly put me off buying anything from him!
