The Enid Blyton Society

A great price for this special edition society publication by Norman Wright - only £9.99 Buy it Now price, which is cheaper than it cost originally! Well worth having, and an interesting read!

That's a great bargain for somebody Rob.

The illustrations are in a different league to Betty Maxey's,although the chap with the gun looks like he really needs to go...

This is really cheeky of me I know, but is there any chance a fellow forumite could by this for me please? My Paypal account doesn't work any more nor does my E-Bay account and when I tried to sort it out it was all automated so I gave up.

Obviously I would send a cheque straightaway to whoever bought it for me. I completely understand if someone else is planning on buying it for themselves or just thinks it's colossal cheek me even asking, but as 'nothing ventured, nothing gained'.

I bet no one will feel they can buy it for themselves now, lol! - so it might end up that no one buys it from here. I just hope some dealer doesn't snap it up! I was hoping a fan would buy it, because there are only 350 of these books in existence!

Well - someone bought it! If Katherine was lucky, I'm pleased - I wasn't getting at you, with my previous comment, Katherine - just worried that everyone would be too polite to buy it for themselves, knowing you'd like it, and so it might go to waste instead - ie to a fat cat collector!

Hope a real fan bought it!

I agree the illustrations are slightly strange - but at least they are originals, and in period - but the characters bodies are badly out of proportion!

I would have bought it (for me, sorry, Katharine) but I missed it by half an hour!

I really do hope one of us bought it - it was a real bargain, as originally it cost £19.50.

That's ok Rob, I hadn't thought about making anyone feel guilty, I was just about to go to work and saw the thread and rattled off my post. Oops. I certainly wouldn't have wanted anyone else to not bid for it because of me. I too hope that someone on here got themselves a bargain, I'm sure my chance will come again another time.

Top of my 'to do' list tomorrow will be to get on the phone and sort out my Paypal and E-Bay accounts.

Thank you Katherine - I realised it might seem I was getting at you for being cheeky, lol! I didn't blame you - feel sorry you didn't get the book - someone bought it about three minutes after you commented! Maybe they've bought it you as a surprise!
