QE2 Deluxe Boxed Set Farewell Collection

[hollihedge]

Myles and anyone else who has the boxed set

What are the 2 red books please?!  I don't seem to have these in my box!!!

[hollihedge]

Correction - have one of the red bound books, but not the other - does this contain the stamp collections?  If so, mine is not bound but is cardboard

[singlemalt]

Gill - will let you know when mine arrives.

I feel like a 6 year old on Christmas Eve at the moment 

[hollihedge]

Mine came on Friday Ali

[singlemalt]

Gill - is it fabulous?
I'm at a conference tomorrow but seriously contemplating a trip back to work when it's over to see if it's been delivered 

[cunardqueen]

The two red books, the top one is the normal book, the one underneath is the leather bound version, with the numbered plate glued inside.
Both have the cover showing the price at £30.

A nice letter to quote part "We hope you enjoy your QE2 Farewell Season collection but if for any reason you are not satisfied pleased contact our office immediately and we will do our utmost to rectify the problem in line with your requirements"
Now does mean they are expecting complaints? l did pen a few lines with some comments.. and wait to hear what they have to say...
The velcro fasten on the red folders is quite strong, do take care ..!
 Not sure what the collectable stationary was or is
 It does arrive royal mail special delivery by 1pm wrapped in bubblewrap, encased in a cardboard box, within another cardboard box, top marks for presentation, and they have some left

When it does arrive just pause for a moment and marvel at the black presentation cover, it does hit you in the face

[hollihedge]

Thanks Cunard Queen

It is fabulous Ali - a great memento

Isn't it lovely Gill?

I'm so easily led with my credit card when it comes to QE2

There is plenty left, believe you me. I expected it to have sold out pretty quickly, But alas that isnt the case,
And do remember they are flexable on payment options.....

l don't know if any one else splashed out but i treated my self to the package from the Manx post office with a limited leather bound edition of this signed by the author, together with numerous first day covers signed by various people, a limited edition print of the QE2's final departure from New York and other momentos of her. Its a lovely package limited to 736 pieces but not cheap -£350.00.
i'm not to sure when it is being withdrawn from sale, there are at least another 35 people who did buy it as mine in numbered 36.

I was really pleased with mine. More so when a month or 2 later I received additional items to add to the collection at no extra cost!

[Twynkle]

Hey Jem - Well done you for resurrecting this thread!
Still want them - don't need them, and can't afford them....
Bright green with envy!

  A very special souvenir... 

Unless the price wanted is a low price, then there is no need for a second purchase...
It would be interesting to hear much it does sell for.
Its a shame the seller hasnt posted on here the number of his box or how and when he obtained it......
