Description: The Mad Scientists' Club 40th Anniversary Edition, Brand New Hardcover, PristineFree Shipping by USPS Priority Mail The boys are back in a 40th Anniversary Edition, with original text restored! A strange sea monster appears on the lake...a fortune is unearthed from an old cannon ...a valuable dinosaur egg is stolen. Watch out as the Mad Scientists turn Mammoth Falls upside down! Take seven, lively, "normal" boys -- one an inventive genius -- give them a clubhouse for cooking up ideas, an electronics lab above the town hardware store, and a good supply of Army surplus equipment, and you, dear reader, have a boyhood dream come true and a situation that bears watching. In the hands of an author whose own work involved technological pioneering, the proceedings are well worth undivided attention, as the boys explore every conceivable possibility for high and happy adventure in the neighborhood of Mammoth Falls. To the unutterable confusion of the local dignitaries -- and the unalloyed delight of Bertrand Brinley's fans -- the young heroes not only outwit their insidious rival, Harmon Muldoon, but emerge as town heroes. Here, captured under one cover, are the fun-filled escapades of the young scientists whose exciting capers debuted in Boys' Life over fifty years ago. Reviews:...filled with spirit of adventure and good-natured fun... In fact, Henry Mulligan, chief Mad Scientist, reminds me of me! --Homer Hickam, Author of Rocket Boys For better or worse (better, I think) the Mad Scientists' Club was a major influence in my youth. --Glenn H. Reynolds -- InstaPundit.com, October 11, 2004 Fun and gentle, the books paint a picture of a more innocent boyhood where scientific know-how could save the day. --USA TODAY, December 3, 2002___ The book is in pristine condition, tight spine, clean and bright dustcover. It is extremely rare to find a pristine version of this edition--a wonderful collectible! I do not believe in using stock photos. The photos are of the actual book you will receive, unlike the stock photos used by the giant ebay sellers! Free shipping in the US. Ships quickly and safely by USPS Priority Mail. International shipping is possible but shipping cost and customs fees (if any) are not included--please enquire about shipping costs before purchasing! Please feel free to message with questions. Stay safe! About me: "daddybeanie" has been my user name since the early days of ebay back in the 1990's. I was (and am) dedicated to my kids, and back in the day I scoured ebay for beanie babies--and travelled from shop to shop, befriending store owners and getting the hot beanie releases of the day. Same with Pokemon cards, Legos, books, coins, Russian nesting dolls, sports memorabilia, and too many other things to count. Eventually kids leave the nest, and I'm now selling off certain items to support new purchases for--you guessed it--grandchildren! As a Dad and a pediatrician, I tend to sprinkle some of my ebay listings with bits of advice for parents--please ignore those if they are not relevant or if you disagree! Please stop by my ebay store--daddybeanie Books and Collectibles. Thank you for visiting!
