I have now completed the series of booklets (156), wondered if anything is known about accompanying bookshelves or boxes or other advertisements. With my late purchase there was:
# 8602867

Question: are there more of these order tickets known?
# 8620471

Questions: a) Are the boxes in photo 1 the real ones? Or are they boxes with the logo of publisher "de Verkenner"
b) Since the sizes became smaller from number 25, then larger and finally pocket size: have more sizes of boxes been released by the Explorer?

Hope someone knows a little more

Hi Morits, thank you and for myself stupid I should have looked in the books first, there is information there.

Presumably there are 3 versions. The first 24 parts with the loose dust jackets appeared per 12 parts where if you bought them per 12 a cassette was included for free. In case you also have cassettes lined with red and brown, these are the original cardboard boxes, as in photo 1. From the slightly smaller particles number 25 there is talk of a metal cassette, respectively white metal cassette. I assume that these are what we mean by Tomado racks, in photo 3.
Also with the subsequently larger particles with linen spine, for example in number 97 mention is made of "beautiful white metal collection cassette", however at the particle linen spine. 132 no more. The last series of pocket shapes no longer mentions a storage box.

I also read that a prospectus was available at the bookstores that sold the parts separately, I have never seen one. So that order form in the form of a book cover which came with those first 24 issues. And I wonder if there are more of them ......

I think I have ever seen order cards in one or more booklets. I haven't had time to check this out yet. I still have work in the attic for years to come.

Yes I have one too. Are we actually the only 2 youth book enthusiasts left?

Gentlemen, don't be so pessimistic, there are certainly still some, but finding this forum is not that easy. I once won a series of 12 pieces in a rack in a contest from the publisher, but came into contact with someone who collected them and that's where the rack went.

I saw you offer it Morits but I think it's more like finding it cheap for something like that - that I don't necessarily have to have but would be nice as a flea market find.

I know. Is also a sport to find it, but I've never found it at a flea market or thrift store.
I once found the three parts of The Lord of the Rings in the thrift, cost: €2.50 per part. So the original version eh

Then I can tell about the day I found the golden dagger of Kresse. First edition with dust jacket. That evening that one Matla came to Delft especially to see it...
