Format:Hardcover
Although now in my late twenties, I am still fascinated by Tintin, his friends and his adventures. I do not claim to be a Tintinologist. As a child I used to read the full size editions, however, I prefer this smaller format, as it is compact and there is no loss of detail in the text or illustration. It is also more robust in hardback: how quickly did the paperback get dog-eared when read by an excited child?
Interestingly, there is no contents page. You must therefore "thumb" to find the story you require. I know that is a rather pedantic issue, but there is completeness to consider. This compilation is my favourite of the series, as it contains both "Destination Moon" and "Explorers on the Moon".
"Destination" begins with a plot which kept me in suspense about the nature of the mission for 8 pages! From then onward, I was intrigued by the technology Herge uses in the story.
The illustrations in "Explorers" are amazing. Herge has combined true representations of the moon with his imagination for what was, at the time, a place not fully understood.
"Land of Black Gold", relies slightly on "Cigars of the Pharaoh" and "The Black Island", for references to characters/events. This does slightly spoil continuity to someone unfamiliar to Tintin.

What can I say, just love the Tin Tin books. Really like these volumes. Die hard fans would probably prefer to have each book individually but I don't mind. Would def recommend!!!

Bought for a gift. It's a simple payoff - smaller pictures, but more stories. The more compact size might make it better for carrying around.

Awesome.
Great book, hard cover, good delivery. Because of the other opinions I was hesitating about the small letters, but it's easily readable and not that small. Read more

really high quality book
This book is really good quality - well made. I was impressed when I opened the packaging. The only problem I would say - is that the print is very small and quite hard to read. Read more

Good, inexpensive option for 3 TinTin stories
TinTin is great! Stories are the same as the larger books. Great way to get 3 TinTin stories for a relatively inexpensive price. The pages are smaller (maybe half as big? Read more
