Format:Hardcover
A lovelly collcetion. This Box set contains all 26 original Railway Series books By W.Awdry. Each individual book is a numbered hardcover and contains the original illustations from when they were first published. The box keeps the books in good condidtion. while this is more expensive than the other "complete collection" book that you can pick up for 15-20 Pounds, this is never the less a fine item to have if you are a fan, or want your children to read 1 small book at a time.I was lucky in that I managed to pick this up brand new for £30 a few years ago,(the retail price originally on the box is £109!)still I would say anything under £60 is a good deal for all 26 individual books.

I purchased this as a christening present and was very happy with it. The hardcover books are just as I remember them from the early 70s. The little case they come in is quite robust and should hold up to children taking the books in and out. That said (and the reason I didn't give it 5 stars) the books are rather tightly packed in which meeans you end up having to pick it up and give it a little shake to help the books out. Little fingers will probably end up just tugging the books out by the top of the spine which will end up in them tearing.

This classic collection of Thomas the Tank was bought for a seventeen year old boy with autism. For some reason children with autism nearly always love these stories. However they often only like the original books, so this classic collection was not only ideal but extremely important. I am happy to say that the set arrived quickly and in perfect condition and was also a great price. Thank you from a mother of an autistic boy.

Avoid
For 'classic' books read 'nothing like what you are expecting'. These books are for 7-10 years old not 2-3 year olds. The original books have been rewritten entirely. Read more
