First editions? Five on a Secret Trail (first published 1956) Five Go to Billycock Hill (first published 1957) Five Fall Into Adventure (first printed 1950)
I think these are first editions, as the only date they give is the "first published" date & this accords with lists on the web (http://www.foxall.com.au/users/mje/Blyton.htm#Famous5Series) of what was published when...
Definitely not first editions Five on a Treasure Island (9th impression, 1952) Five Run Away Together (7th impression, 1953) Five Go Off in a Caravan (8th impression, 1954) Five on Kirrin Island Again (8th impression, 1954) Five Go to Smuggler's Top (8th impression, 1954)
All 8 books lack dustjackets and are in far from mint (though also far from bad) condition. I'm hopeless at describing the condition of books, I'm afraid; I can take a photo if you want to see. Do you think you'd be interested? What sort of price would you expect to pay for them? (If I eBay them, would you bid? ;-)
