Journal No. 9 was the first to have a full-colour cover, specially illustrated by the Noddy artist Robert Tyndall to mark Noddy's 50th birthday. Every issue since has come with a splendid colour cover, and recently all the issues preceding Journal No. 9 were reprinted with colour covers.

Some issues are available to buy as back issues. For more information on buying the Journals as well as other books and guides, please feel free to browse our Online Shop.
