Well done! I know how it feels to have something that we have been seeking for so long.

Except the £215 copy one back in May 2017! The most pristine copy that I have ever laid my eyes on!IceMaiden wrote:I'm so glad you got it Rajah . That's the second one I've seen now at that price, seems to be the going rate! I don't think you'd get a pristine copy, of the ones I've seen they all look in the same state especially on the spine.
Now we know the reason it went beyond £200! The scarce book in pristine condition.

Is this book hard to get hold of in the original edition too?

Not quite so hard, Pete. But not all that easy either!!
they are a 'bit' cheaper though - I got my Very Good copy of The Secret of the Old Mill for £16 on eBay in 2016.

I wouldn't be so sure about hen's teeth being scarce. Some scientists are playing with the DNA of birds (hens included) and they already found the trigger to let them grow teeth again.Rajah wrote:Many thanks for the ''heads-up'' I got it in time.Not the best copy ever
but they are as scarce as hen's teeth.

I have a pdf copy of At Seaside Cottage 1947 edition and at current prices it looks like that's the way it's going to stay!!!!

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)
