My bestie gave it to me for Xmas, and it looks like a pretty rare find to me.

I can&#8217;t see a reason for it to be. It&#8217;s not a romance novel&#8211;it&#8217;s a novel with romance in it. So there.

		<description><![CDATA[By Hergé Read: September 2009 Rating: This was the very first Tintin book I ever got my hands on. So there&#8217;s nostalgic attachment to it. Published in 1936, the squabbling countries make speeches to&#8230; The League of Nations! Funnily enough, there&#8217;s not mention of communism, at all.

		<description><![CDATA[By Hergé Read: September 2009 Rating: Transitional One can definitely feel the transitional quality of this volume. It FEELS like a Tintin book, but the story is quite choppy, and for good reason&#8211;originally, it was running as a serial. There is a consistent story arc, but it&#8217;s not like later books where everything is geared <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2009/09/the-cigars-of-the-pharoah/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Hergé Read: September 2009 Rating: Trippy I now know why this volume confused the hell out of me as a kid. Firstly, it&#8217;s the first in the series, as published widely, but it&#8217;s technically the third book. So there are references to Tintin&#8217;s past adventures, and he has a hell of a reputation.
