      Dont go to movies or buy physical dvds, you can just stream online. Dont buy a car you can just catch a bus..
      Should I go on or can you realise how silly your comment is?

          This is a site literally dedicated to consumers, think maybe you are in the wrong place 🤷

            @Savvy shopper1111:

            This is a site literally dedicated to consumers, think maybe you are in the wrong place

            Pretty sure this site is named Oz'Bargain', not Oz'Consumers'.
            I can't think of a better way to save money than to read the books for free.

            What better bargain is there than not paying at all?

              @Grunntt: I find it hilarious that, on a 'bargain' site, I received downvotes for this comment.
              Clearly shows some on here have a warped view of what actually makes a bargain.

    I have Roald Dahl series from Costco 5 years before for my kids. They read them all the time. But I don't read them. So I have no idea are they the same books or not.

      the titles are probably a bit of a hint

      From the OP's listing, these are the 2018 print run, which I bought from Costco about 5 years ago.
      Same books.
      I read them, the kids read them. They haven't turned us woke.

      Cool story, bro!

    Great author, great set of literature.
    Hopefully the woke cancer doesn't infest itself 🤞

      too late, but I think the tide is turning…. slowly.

    Glad these are not wokified versions.

    According to the ISBN these were published in June 2019.

    The listing also makes reference to new artwork.

    Seems like these are woke copies OP is concern trolling about. @theoofside how did you determine there are an old publication?

    https://www.booktopia.com.au/roald-dahl-16-book-collection-r…

    There is also news the publisher will be keeping a 'classic edition' in print, to milk both sides of the culture war.

      The publication date on the box shows 2018.

      Just did a quick check - Mrs Twit is still "ugly" ;)

    Seems like a good deal. Hate people that use the word woke and think they're being clever about it all though.
