Space Patrol & The Secret Weapon 1965 Car Boot Bargain


I got this from Torksey car boot today, Space Patrol & The Secret Weapon, originally published in 1965 by World Distributors.

Although its annual size, its not an annual - its one long story, in text format with pictures! Its in pretty good condition too, and hasn't been drawn in, which is always a problem with childrens books!

I understand this book is pretty rare, like Rocking Horse Droppings a friend said :) Space Patrol was a Black and white 1960s TV series.

There is a pretty comprehensive fan site here. I paid £1 for the book :)

Hey, that was an excellent bargain for just £1.

I’ve read conflicting reports about the actual page count of this book, so I’m wondering how many pages it really has.

I guess you would never consider selling it, even for a really generous offer?

how generous :)

ill sort the page count later :)

Thanks for replying so soon; I hope £50.00 isn’t too insulting. Just think of it as a 5,000% markup :)
