Tintin Forums

I been working in the Tintin shop in Covent Garden 3 weeks now and loving it what a place to work surrounded by Tintin.

Awesome! What a fantastic job :)

Glad to hear it's still there!

I was a regular customer back in 2001 when I lived in London. Still got the key ring depicting a striding Tintin!

I went to London a few days ago, and I also went to Covent Garden. I didn't know there was a Tintin shop over there and I missed it, unfortunately.

(If my memory serves me correctly!)

Sorry to be nit-picking, but there's a mistake on your Tintin shop website, number1fan. On the English Colour Facsimiles page, a missing comma in every description:

...faithful recreations of the Tintin albums as they appeared the first time they were published in English.

should be

...faithful recreations of the Tintin albums as they appeared the first time they were published, in English.

- because they are facsimiles of the first French editions, but in English.

I did exactly the same thing a few weeks ago, I could have kicked myself for not finding out the address before I went. Working in the Tintin shop sounds like such a great job:)

I think we can all sleep tonight not worrying about this mistake on the website.Did you by any chance look all over the website for mistakes?.

Why not accept what they had to say and, thank them. If you and/ or the shop prefer to leave the entry as is, that is up to you and the shop, but there is no need to knock someone for trying to help.
