There is an article about the Black Bob book in the latest Weekly News:

They're telling the truth from their point of view Digi. It all depends on when retailers are supplied with books and when they can allocate them to their shops.

It's a great book and I'll be reviewing it on my blog this week.

Digi Mind arrived on the 26 June out of the blue from Amazon.

Beautiful book and a great read. Wish there was more books like this.

Here's a letter from this week's Weekly News:

Finally got the book!!

Its a very early Birthday present from my Wife..couldn't wait for the 20th Dec as i've waited so long..

Amazed how cheap it is and how thick the book is..loads to read..
Jack's art is amazing..lots of depth he got into those pictures..makes them feel like a real world with lots of space..

Seeing the Black Bob in silly cartoon form was funny with all the injuries he has had..

Noticed that Black Boib's Big Job doesn't have every panel in it..The master stuck in the well panel for example..
But other than that its a dream come true to see this book..

This is just the best news ever...
Its what we've been asking for ages..hopefully this will lead to mkore Black Bob books in the future..

Now half price (£4.99) at Waterstones.

And I just picked up the last copy there. It'll be a birthday present from my Grandma (my 27th birthday is on Sunday).

Waterstones seem to have ordered more copies after I bought that one. And it's revealed something - the book has apparently already been reprinted. My copy has a Waverley Books logo which looks like a cathedral, while the copy they have in stock now has a completely different logo. They also added a newspaper review quote on the back cover, which is absent from mine.

That's a good sign that it went back to print - must've sold reasonably well. Nice to hear!

Still reading it just two stories left...trying to make it last...

Really hope there will be more retro books..(Jonah..Banana Bunch..hint )
Black Bob is a brilliant book and hope they do another best of Black Bob..

Having read the above, I scuttled off to my local Waterstones only to find that they had one copy and it was still full price. Might have to just shell out for it.

£10 is great value for a large book...very wo0rth it and lots to read and marvel at..
every picture is a masterpiece and drawn to such a high standard...

As I say I hope there will be another best of Black Bob......But thanks DC Thomson for this...as I did request it on this forum..when we were discussing the best of Jonah

It was actually supposed to be back to full price before I bought my copy, but it still said half price on it, so they honoured the deal. You should've bought it four months ago!

I recently bought three of the first four Black Bob Books - none of which cost more than £3! (He said smugly)
