For
example, the original on 'The Boy Mechanic' is out of print (AFAIK). But
I can easily buy a Lindsay reprint that contains exactly the same

I would assume the original (which is out of print) will now be fairly
rare (I have never seen it in a second-hand bookshop, for example). The

One of my favorites from my teen years. They're not uncommon
over here in the States. They were reprinted for years beyond
the original, and there are several editions. I've seen
first editions as well as old reprints at used book stores.
I'll hand down a set to my boys.
