      Revisionist history at it again.

      Tintin and Hergé is culturally significant in many different ways and was a product of its time. Enjoy it for what it is, and don't pan it for being what it never could be - a modern take on colonialism.

      I love Tintin personally and nothing of my beliefs of the themes in the book, however similar or different will change that. As a kid I travelled strange parts of the world through the eyes of Tintin in a way I never had the opportunity to do in real life, he whet my appetite for seeing the world and exploring different cultures. I could never than Hergé and Tintin enough for that.

      So should people not read Shakespeare for its perceived racist colonial attitude?

      • Gavman on 02/12/2019 - 08:10

        Don’t forget grossly anti-semetic..

      • AustriaBargain on 02/12/2019 - 14:58

        Don't ask me, I just quoted that part of the wikipedia article to explain why that book was missing.

  • jgdec on 02/12/2019 - 06:56

      Thanks for the reminder to use Cashback, I never remeber to use it.

  • GeorgeS on 02/12/2019 - 07:40

    BTW, this is the paperback versions, but still an excellent price.

      I saw hardback is actually cheaper, but I got paperback for the nostalgia bonus.

  • monieo555 on 02/12/2019 - 07:50

    The hardcover version is about $30 cheaper and imo looks more visually appealing but that's just me. My mum gave me two of the tintin books that had three stories in it but it'll be good to have the whole collection. My christmas present for the year thank you!

    • smeng on 02/12/2019 - 08:03

      any chance to link the hardcover copies for $30 cheaper cheers

      • happykamper on 02/12/2019 - 08:41

        It's the same link, just select from the 'format' dropdown.

        • smeng on 02/12/2019 - 08:52

          thank you great Christmas gift thanks

      it says hardcover is compact edition. dont know what it means though…

      • monieo555 on 02/12/2019 - 08:06
        +1

        It just means that instead of one story per book it's multiple stories per book. I just prefer books that look more visually appealing personally and i'm happy having compact books but its personal preference. :)

        • kaleidoscope on 02/12/2019 - 08:10

          thanks for that. as long as no parts taken out / scaled down & tony letters it’d be good 😄

          • monieo555 on 02/12/2019 - 08:12

            @kaleidoscope: I've got two compact books of tintin (obviously different edition) and I read them multiple times when I was younger and they weren't as big as the paperbacks but still visually a good read and text/frames were never an issue for me. Happy to help!

            EDIT: If you compare the dimensions the softcover is about 33cm tall vs. 23 for the compact. So physically these books are smaller but really better for bookcases if you think about it.

  • xcx on 02/12/2019 - 07:55

    are these actually all separate paperback versions, because the image doesnt look like it would have 23 books. some of the spines look like they mighthave two stories in 1 book. sort of hard to know as there arent any other images, but i think having 23 separate books with those amazing covers would be better than having combined versions.

    They missed a big marketing opportunity by not selling this set in a tin

    Blistering barnacles!

    • chumpychops on 02/12/2019 - 10:46

      Indeed ! A few years ago I paid about $500 all the books (hard cover), not even in a box set, and not including Congo! OF course, that was before I knew about OzBargain!

      • soyea on 02/12/2019 - 12:37

        Thundering Typhoons! 😱

  • OzBrogains on 02/12/2019 - 10:49

    Softcopy is the full sized A4 copy.
    Hardcopy is the A5 copy… not very enjoyable reading IMO.

  • jaygee on 02/12/2019 - 11:59

    Damn, missed out!

  • andrew229 on 02/12/2019 - 14:44
