Sunday Market Bookhunting

No problems, when next I attend the markets I shall contact you the previous day to arrange meet ups. I haven't decided if I'm going or not this week since I'm working until 7am sunday morning. Hmmm. Pondering ensues.

I *think* I know the AA Milne edition you're talking about. I have a version with a different cover, but I think it might be the same printing, just a different binding. If so - yeah, the illustrations beat Disney all hollow, don't they? :)

I typed my above LJ entry from memory in at work last night. I went and had another look at the World of Pooh this morning and I think I might have the same edition as you. I was mistaken about the leather binding, it's the fabric bound, dark orangey-ochre colour, World of Pooh and a little outline of pooh-bear on the spine in gold lettering? Two page colour plate map immediately inside the front cover?

The illustrations are teh win.

I'm not actually sure - my copies are in Lismore at the moment, and I remember them having printed dust jackets. Under the dust jacket, they may very well be the same binding as yours.
