Wanted: "Crab with the Golden Claws" English facsimile?

#1 · Posted: 15 Feb 2013 04:07

Hi, Just wondering if someone can help me here.

Does anyone know if The Crab With the Golden Claws has an English facsimile edition?

I have the other English facsimiles (Pharaoh, Lotus, etc), and at the back of these it says that Crab with the Golden Claws has also been released in a facsimile edition.

However, I have been looking around and can't seem to find one; I found the French facsimile on Amazon but not one in English. So I'm really curious about this.

Thanks for any answer.

I don't believe it is available as an English facsimile, not yet anyway. I think there are still only six available in English; America, Cigars, Lotus, Broken Ear, Black Island and Ottokar.

Perhaps they were planning a release - so have it listed on the back - but they haven't got round to it, or it's in the pipeline, or they've decided against it.

It would be a worthwhile one to do since it has numerous frames - of Haddock drinking from the bottle and of black characters - that were dropped when they produced the first American edition in 1959. Only the first English edition (from 1958) has these frames.

Hello,
Thanks for your reply, at least that someone also agrees there is no English edition yet, so I can stop searching.
Well, hopefully one day it will be released.
