Nice game. Takes me back as we always used to play it.

I've had a look and you've made a very good job, Tony.

A very good job indeed.

Not exactly 'strange' - but I saw this on eBay - 'The Mystery That Never Was' - first edition in a DW.

I bought my first edition from eBay last year - in a much better DW - for £12.50. It really is a nice book to have in a first edition, as all the illustrations are in black and white and red.

Yes, it is perfectly lined up. Tricky work to get it right, a bit like trying to line up Tall Stone, Chimney and Steeple while keeping one eye on Tock Hill.

We had the game in a compendium of games, but I don't remember playing it much, maybe a few times.

It is mystery that there are no negative feedbacks registered against the seller - but I suppose that he/she is not trying to mislead - just vastly overpricing the book.

I think sometimes people just try their luck and be a bit cheeky! I did the same with a second edition of 'The Magic Faraway Tree' - without a dust wrapper. It went for £90 which I certainly wouldn't have paid!

Well done, Rob - you obviously have the magic touch!

I think its just that some buyers will pay any price for a Farway Tree book!

That makes up for the £10 you had to refund! What goes around....

true!!
