It isn't a bad price really .. but I'm not sure I would pay over £4.00 per copy. They don't look to be in a brilliant condition. I managed to get a good many paperback versions for £1 each a few years ago, - collecting them for one of my grandchildren.

Various editions of Secret Seven books, at very low prices, are plentiful in charity shops.

Rob highlighted a complete 1970's paperback set in pristine condition for me a few years ago for under £20 so as Eddie says bargains are still out there!

I think £60.00 is a lot! When I got my full set of Secret Seven paperbacks (I bought them mainly for nostalgic reasons, as I love the Derek Lucas illustrations, and already have the original hardback versions too!) they cost only £7.00 for books that were slightly better condition than those pictured above. Mind you, that was about three years ago, but I doubt prices have soared that much since then!

Also, this isn't the full set as there should be 15!

hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

An excellent choice, if I may say so, Daisy. :D

I have a hunch that both of you love FFO series more than other series, Ilsa and Eddie. The reason why both of you can remember minute details of each books in FFO series. :D

Excellent selections Rob. The first seller also has this which I have never seen before:
