Print and quality is great. Review: Perfect gift for 7-12yr old boys - I have bought this book and the follow up story "Red Rachham's Treasure' multiple times. I have also bought other Tintin titles over the years. I have two nephews and some other young boys as neighbours. I have found these Tintin books to be the best way to instill some reading habit into boys that are not academically inclined. They enjoy the books a lot, and the books take about a couple of hours to fully read for the boys. They are Ideal gifts for birthdays etc. for 7-12yr old boys. One thing to note is some of the Tintin stories have two parts, but the stories are independent of each other so it is not necessary to read one part before the other. The double part books are - - book 1 : Cigars of the Pharaoh book 2 : The Blue Lotus - book 1 : The Secret of the Unicorn book 2 : Red Rackham's Treasure - book 1 : The Seven Crystal Balls book 2 : Prisoners of the Sun - book 1 : Destination Moon book 2 : Explorers on the Moon The delivery and price on desertcart is also the best I have seen.
