Famous Five Big Book

Post by jon beeza »

I would like a Famous Five Big Book, three stories in one book. I did have one years ago, I have no idea what happened to it, so I would really like to replace it. So if anybody knows who is selling one. Not overly keen on ebay ! I did buy most of my books off ebay, but I have not used paypal or ebay for years, this was due to time wasters, and silly scammers !

I've bought quite a few of my collection from Ebay, Jon, and found the books excellent value. If you're going to the E.B. Day in May, you're sure to get one from any of the dealers there. The hall is full of books all Blyton. It's like being in a magical world! :D

Also I've bought books from second hand book shops that stock all sorts and found some really good Blytons.

Hi Julie, I have never been to an EB day, sound pretty interesting. I would love to go to one, but it may be a little too far to travel for me. But I will check it out, can't seem to see any info on May event, I saw and old one for 2010 !

The E.B. Day is on the 12th May, Jon. Many of us who live quite a distance away make it an overnight stay.

If you look at the board index, and the society block, you'll see the heading for Enid Blyton Day 2012. And of course there are many photos in the thread for 2010. :)

I got mine via ebay for under a tenner, but there's this one via abebooks for under 20 quid.

No prob. Abe is great for 2nd hand books, but obviously it doesn't do to hang about as lots of books listed wil be the only copy the seller has... There are/were others listing FFBB, but that was the cheapest...
