If you don't have the original book, I would give the book itself 4 or 5 stars. If you do have the book, don't waste your money on this edition, hence being generous with two stars (really deserves one). The blurb for this version says "Destined to become a collector's volume, this limited, 25th anniversary edition contains new artwork, an original postcard, and specially created decorative stamps, making this a book that is as rewarding to enjoy all over again—or to discover for the very first time." Pffft. I have compared my book, a sixth printing, with this Anniversary edition. There are four differences:1. On the cover of this one, it says 25th Anniversary Edition.2. The dust jacket blurb on the inside cover is slightly revised.3. On the very last page there is one more envelope. Inside is a postcard with Bantock's artwork on it--the card is smaller than a standard postcard; it is about the size of 1/4 of a piece of US copy paper. Also inside is a similarly sized sheet of six stickers with images from the Griffin and Sabine books.4. The quality of the reproduction of the artwork in the Anniversary edition, at least in the copy I received, isn't as sharp / crisp nor is the color as vibrant. If you didn't have the two books side by side you might not notice, but the printing/detail in my old version is definitely better.That's it. So for the first time in well over 15 years of ordering from , I am returning something. Bummers.If you do not have a copy of Griffin and Sabine already (why not?!!!), you might well enjoy this one. Given the difference in reproduction of the art, if you are an artist or particular about details (guilty on both counts), you might look for an older printing. But it's a great book and great series. Just irked at the publisher's misleading blurb.

This book is unlike anything I've ever read. While the premise is intriguing I'm not sure I really care what happens to the main characters. There are so many continuing novels available with so much more interesting characters that I rather doubt I'll ever go back to find out what happens to Sabine and Griffin. Also the cost is pricey for what you get, sure it is fun with the letters, etc.' but I'd rather have a rousing suspenseful novel for the price. Be sure to know what you're getting before you buy.

Unbelievable book! I am glad I was able to read the entire series at once as I fell in love with both of these beautiful characters!

bought this book 25 years ago for myself, liked it and bought it this time for grandchild (teenager). It's a unique read.

I bought this copy for my Granddaughter. I think she'll love it.
