Yes, I've got the treasury as you've probably guessed Pete, but mine doesn't have a dust jacket. But I love the book all the same, and all the pictures that all in colour are just so lovely. And the stories too of course.
Julian gave an exclamation and nudged George.
"See that? It's the black Bentley again. KMF 102!"
Like yourselves, Katherine and Julie, my copy is without a dustjacket - it is in good condition though.
Was your copy with dustjacket expensive John?
Can't remember what I paid for my copy now - don't think it was too pricey.
I has some really good stories in it including the very adult (for Enid) Caravan Holiday!

Pete, that copy with the D/W looks fairly reasonable I would think. I probably paid around a fiver for my copy without a D/W and quite possible that was anything up to 20 years ago.
Back on topic, I love the latest picture you've posted - my children had that set of books when they were little - they are still in the house somewhere, and I may have to 'acquire' them if they don't want to take them with them.
Pete, I seem to remember paying £15 for my copy of the Treasury and I'm certain I found it in a second hand bookshop in Sheringham in Norfolk whilst on holiday some years ago.
I can't remember the name of the shop, Katharine, but it was behind the railway station on the preserved line going to Holt.
There was an attractive young woman in there browsing when I was, I bet it was you.
I think the book shop is called "Peter's Bookshop" and it is just behind the steam railway. This is one of the reasons I dream of moving to Sheringham, it has a nice selection of shops, and excellent second hand book shop, a steam railway and the sea, all in one place. What more could anyone possibly want out of life?
I've just checked with the wife and she says it was definitely Peter's bookshop we went in. She has a good memory for things like that. I remember the shop was extremely narrow in places with books outside as well. I love those sort of shops.
