Also read your sharing how you'd become a fans. <br /><br />As for me, as long as I can remember, I was introduced with this series around 1985 when I was in elementary school. One of my friend who had lot of this series borrowed me some, and the stories really stucked me in. Soon I was fond of this series. <br /><br />My mother then bought me 2 titles (#13 and #17, not at the same). Later, when I became older and had my own income, I tried to collect all the series though it's not easy because at that time it'd already become rare books. Need years and slowly but finally I could complete all the 42 titles. <br /><br />By the way, I'm from Indonesia and this series I've completed is called "Trio Detektif", published by Gramedia.<br />MoviesAreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13030760546836789596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787687837760913347.post-22935674780454411452017-07-02T11:40:48.808+01:002017-07-02T11:40:48.808+01:00Thank you, Savvas!Thank you, Savvas!Mark Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12103997496549941279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787687837760913347.post-65035044631656059712017-07-01T17:09:50.283+01:002017-07-01T17:09:50.283+01:00I just commented on your Skeleton Island review.

I hardly ever see TTI books in used bookstores which puzzles me. I have no thought my 6 year old will enjoy these books as I did, but it would be nice to have some paperbacks on hand. :)dpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13711610211039667821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787687837760913347.post-34443576846310077102015-12-01T06:46:39.700+00:002015-12-01T06:46:39.700+00:00I'm Vivien from Indonesia n i thank to u cz u ...I'm Vivien from Indonesia n i thank to u cz u have shared this information.
