Yes, it seems to have gone but I'm not in a position to buy it at the moment anyway, thanks.
Thanks for the other link as well, Sixret, but whenever I do look for a copy I'll be wanting one with a dustwrapper. I got the other two books for £19 and £12 with dustwrappers, so I hope I'll be lucky with The Magic Faraway Tree too.

Re: Enid Blyton's Birthday - Half Price Sale!
So sorry Rob. I should have posted that my book arrived safely on Wednesday although since I was at work at the time I had to wait till yesterday to pick it up from the post office. I’ve left an eBay review for you. The book is excellent. Many thanks for the special offer and fast delivery.

Thanks John! I did check on ebay to see if all books had been delivered - one of the reasons I always send books 'signed for' is you can track them - and I noticed they'd attempted to deliver yours but no one was home! Glad you got it okay and it is acceptable! Not one of my best condition dust wrappers in some ways - but definitely a first edition!
