I would very much like to acquire the following 1940's "Five" titles in 1st Editions with original jackets
1942 Five on a Treasure Island ( Some chance!!)

1944 Five Run Away Together
1945 Five Go To Smugglers Top
1946 Five Go Off in a Caravan

Maybe you are selling some books or have more than one

Please send me a private message with details.
Thanks

I've got a couple of those in forties hardbacks but I suspect NOT first editions .. how would I tell? The ones I have dont have d/js either.

Thanks for the response.
All 1st Edition books will contain only one date eg. "First Printed 1948" no other dates will be shown. Later editions usually show the reprint date and any previous prints including the first printing date. They also show how many previous prints have been run.
I am only interested in 1st Editions with jackets.

Well, I haven't been inundated with responses so far

Doesn't any body want to sell the early books as I am prepared to offer a good price for the right book!
Send me a PM if you prefer.
