Dean, my copies are from the reprint series that Doug Mauldin did in the 80's. I signed up for the series before I even knew what a Derrydale was, and kept it up through the whole "book-of-the-month" thing. Glad I did, as I'd never have been able to afford - therefore read - originals. All are true to the originals in content; some less so in binding, etc. It appears these two are some of the ones that were quite true...
Garry, what a great experience!
