Honestly they are like fucking number 6 buses, these
Coughing Dragons. I never saw hide nor
hair of one since March and all of a sudden they are all over the shop. Take this one for instance:
Described as being in “acceptable” condition
by an Amazon retailer, it turned out to be an ex-library book that has had the
boards laminated and the spiderweb endpapers removed. I suppose it is all to do with how you would
define the word acceptable. It was under
a tenner, I suppose, so I shouldn’t really grumble, but the other problem is
that the spine is well faded, so it doesn’t look so good on the shelf. I reckon I’ll need to keep my eyes open for
an upgrade. You have got to love
the Mystery of the Coughing Dragon, bloggers.
It gathers some criticism from some fans for being unbelievable. Of course, Three Investigators books are
renowned for their documentary style authenticity so this is a valid
comment. It certainly is a totally
ludicrous story which I would urge you all to read. I have a spare copy if you want to borrow it, but I would invest in some latex gloves if you decide to take up my offer.
