Secret Island

[mickherod]

Looking for a copy of secret island with a dust jacket. Second Enid book i ever read Spiggy Holes was the first. They are still my favorite books. I am not certain if it ever came with a dust jacket i have early editions of all five books in the series but no jackets.

hi there,

If you want to see what the dustwrappers looked like just check them out on the Book Listings http://www.enidblytonsociety.co.uk/auth ... cat=secret

The Secret Island is quite a scarce dw in any printing and usually fetches a fair price when the books come up on ebay.

Best wishes
Tony

Hi,

I have been looking for a certain copy of the secret island. I used to have it when i was yonger and now cant seem to find it anywhere.

I dont suppose you would know where to get the 1986 Armada version in paperback, i love the cover of this one, and desparately want another copy of this version.

Can you help?

Thanks

Charlie, your best bet is probably eBay. I've just looked and there is an armada paperback listed, date 1965. They haven't included a picture though - but I'm sure you could ask for one to see if it is the one you mean. Here is the link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SECRET-ISLAND-ARM ... 240%3A1318.

If not, keep checking back as new books as listed constantly.

I've found this on ebay (sorry about the long link but can't find Moonrakers explanation of how to do it properly!) Only half solves the problem but dustwrappers do exist!

Don't worry about long links - Keith has set things up so they automatically condense.

I think a glance at the Cave would have answered the question as to whether dustwrappers exist!

I am not sure that this one will tempt too many at £850!!

It's safe for me to put a bid in then!!!

Way out of my price league I'm afraid. Especially for only half a dustwrapper. What do you think Tony; given the scarcity of the book with dustwrapper is it actually worth the money?

No!!

Direct and to the point. Thanks Tony.

[Tony Summerfield]

I don't think that it would get a bid even at £100 - you can't really call that a dustwrapper!

Haven't been on the forum for quite a while... but thought Id share with you on this post that there is a Secret Island with half a jacket on sale on ebay.

Ah..I see its already old hat ... typical of me.

However, whatever its worth... there's not much doubt there will be someone who will pick it up.
We live in a society of fear.... will there be another one up for sale? At what price? And in this lifetime?
