The Adventures of Tintin – Compact Editions – The Tintin Collection: 8 Book Box-Set: The Complete Official Classic Children’s Illustrated Mystery ... Christmas gift for children aged 8 and above. Product Bundle – 7 May 2015

Excellent cartoon series.

As a huge fan of Tintin from a very young age myself had to get the mini book collection of my favourite cartoon graphic novel character to add my collection. Yes it's missing Congo and shark lake but they can be brought separately if your a huge fan and collector . But it's still a amazing way to keep enjoying the adventures of tintin, snowy, captain haddock, professor Calculus and many more favourite characters and adventures. The books are very colourful and nice size to read in bed or relaxing in a comfy chair.

'Tintin' was a part of my childhood and we all read a great deal as we grew up (Everything from 'Tintin' to 'Just William' through to Willard Price's 'Adventure' series and many more besides). I struggle to get the Grandchildren off their devices......'Book....what's a book?'...so I was immediately attracted to this set. It's perfect, doesn't take up too much room and I will read it all in time. As other purchasers have noted, although the format is smaller than originally published, I think it's a handy size for reading. Now.......let's try and get those pesky grandkids interested!

A bit expensive but purchased as a birthday gift, and well received by the recipient. Nostalgia gift.

The books and packaging are amazing quality, and came in perfect condition. The print size is fine, and the picture quality is just as good as the paperback version. Just because the comics are compact doesnt lessen the magic of the stories, and find the size of the book is way better to read in bed, it's also not flimsy so I like these better for reading with in the evening than the paperback. they are just as good as eachother but for me the hardback is more practical and aesthetic, without sacrificing the stories and quality! As good as the original

The quality of the books is excellent. Smaller than the original book (CD in picture to see size) but much more convenient and ideal to read in bed. Some reviews are critical of the print size but I didn't find it a problem. The drawings are sharp and colourful just as I remember them as a kid. Brings back lots of happy memories would recommend to anybody who grew up with Tintin

Love it, had the originals and these come in a nice box set and hardback and easy to hold and read in bed .

I bought this for my wife who is a huge fan of the film and she was over the moon. Delighted and loves to lay out. The product is superbly presented with stories of great adventure a purchase worthy of all ages to enjoy.
