This rare and hard to find annual in MINT – CONDITION STUNNING IS WHAT YOU WOULD CALL IT. The pictorial paper covered boards so clean and bright with super bold colours, you would think it was new,
The corners nearly square with a touch of bump and pin prick of wear to the bottom right, and a hint of bump to the top. The spine full and complete, very square with a touch of bump and lift to the top and a touch of bump to the tail. When you open the annual WOW! It is virtually new, MINT CONDITION, the belongs to box clean, not price clipped and every single page gleaming white, even the edges, super bold and vibrant colours, stiff to the touch pages and firm sound and tight binding, and nothing touched. One for even the most discerning collector….. more details & pictures

A very rare and hard to find annual in FINE CONDITION. The illustrated paper covered board covers are stunningly clean and bright with just a hint of edge rub, the corners just a touch of bump and wear, the spine full and complete, well defined with just a breath of bump to the top and tail. Inside there is a neat inscription in a child’s hand “Anne Shotter 34 macArthur Cres. Bitterne. Southamptom”, it has been price clipped. Stunningly clean and gleaming white pages, even the edges, none of the puzzles or competitions have been touched, the pages firm to the touch and sound to the tight binding. A truly lovely annual for any collector….. more details & pictures

1952 Rupert Annual, just added

An absolute gem of an annual in FINE + condition due to minor shelf wear to the front and rear cover corners and the top and tail of the spine, some age spots starting to show, well it is 58 years old. Inside there is no inscription in the “belongs to box and the price has not been clipped there is a presentation inscription on the ffp in beautiful neat handwriting that reads “ September 1955. This book presented to: Pauline as 1^st prize for Nature Study. 30^th St. Helens Brownie Pack” how really lovely on the same page a small area of abrasion 1.5cm x2 cm. The pages are stiff, clean, sound and bursting with colour. So rare to find one of this age in such wonderful condition and a real must for any collector.
