Illustrated eric?

Postby KPDGaskell » Tue Aug 24, 2010 9:25 am

Does anybody know where I can get a paperback copy of the illustrated eric? The only place I can find it looks like a re-release hardback on Amazon in November (or November 2011 for the paperback).

It would be really great if I could find a version that isn't too big or I’ll have to re-arrange my bookshelf a bit :)

I got my illustrated paperback from Abe Books. They have them there for as little as £2.90 with £2.45 shipping to the UK.

It's larger than normal DW paperbacks though at 19.5 x 28cm. And you won't be able to get a new copy as this is now unavailable. :)

I wasn't expecting new but that looks great, I checked on ebay and some copies go as high as £400. 19.5 X 25cm doesn't sound too big so it should be fine, thanks :)

It took me years to get a hardback copy of Eric. Like rocking horse crap.
Joy of joys, got it signed and personalised by the man himself. Good luck finding your copy in paperback,hope you are successful.

Got mine a few days ago in the post, I actually enjoyed it a lot, especially with the illustrations, Eric reminds me of Twoflower a bit.

Also welcome to the site Mazza

Hellooo and welcome from me Mazza! I rather enjoyed Eric myself, especially the descriptions of Hell. :D

And in Heather's case, there were sometimes Third Thoughts and Fourth Thoughts, although these were quite difficult to manage and sometimes led her to walk into doors
