Re: Famous Five Unfamiliar Cover?
Is the seller an individual or a company? I can't see the information on the link.

Well he mentioned Nobby waving his red shirt as a warning, which he wouldn’t have to do if the caravans were right by the lake.

It appears to be a Kindle edition with at least some of the original internal illustrations (I wonder whether those were taken from the Cave too!)Lucky Star wrote: ↑30 May 2021, 15:27 Is the seller an individual or a company? I can't see the information on the link.

It's just not right to reproduce images and text from this website without prior permission. It's theft, pure and simple.

Re: Famous Five Unfamiliar Cover?
Trouble is there is no internet police for these thefts of copyright, and I would suspect there are images all over the internet of Tony's scans. The time and hard work he's put into all these scans won't even be considered. It's just pure theft.
At least as John says, I was credited with the review, which isn't as bad as what M.E. Rosson did when he blatantly stole all my stories and credited them to himself.

Smugglers top cover looks scary . The path looks unrealistic and narrow ..One slip and any of the five could go rolling down the sides
