The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

I didn't get the book now because I bought it yesterday, and there's 1-month delivery.

Malte&Co doesn't answer. So I will wait for miracle delivery...

Is this a normal children's picture book or is there something more to it? Also, was the domehead scene from this book or do I remember that incorrectly? It's been some time since I read the whole uncut scenes section.

Edit: What's wrong with Petrie's colors, and why Sharptooth LEFT eye is bad, if in film it was RIGHT?

Ah brilliant. I considered​ buying it myself a few years back, but it was expensive and would have taken weeks to be shipped to the UK. I also have to lbt book friends in need and search for the great Valley, and posted the pages here too. Though one thing that bugs me about those two book is they are very abridged. And don't even Finish the story. Atleast this illustrated version tells the whole story

How is it? I heard it has the original ending before the rearrangements of the scenes near the end.
Growing up I was a big LBT fan and had seen all movies and TV series episodes. On the forum, I was formerly known as Hypnobrai until Nov 11, 2017.

In recent years, I have gained an interest in the production of The Land Before Time, particularly the deleted scenes of the original film. New discoveries have been made in the last few years and continue to be made, so I feel that it is a good time to contribute.

I have always loved sharpteeth more than any other creatures in the franchise, such as the fourteenth film's Carnotaurus, the fifth film's Sharptooth, and #1 by far - the original Sharptooth.

From 2017-2019, I was an administrator for the LBT wiki.

I'm not sure if it has all of them but I know it has the original ending.

Edit: Nevermind, the Illustarted Story is the same except for the Oasis Scene. It's the book Friends in Need that has the original ending and other cut stuff.

Ah okay thanks for the information I might try and find that book and look through it. I'm sure it's pricy and expensive.

So, I think it's also a time to publish here full version of the book, since I didn't find online version of this rare book too. :/
You don't mind? Again: I don't break any serious polices? XD

When I double click the folder, it gives me a list of pictures of the book but when I double click the files, nothing happens, not even error messages.

if you do this in browser - do not try to open folder/files. Just click on "download" . :3
If you try it on comp - hmmm, png should simply be opened.

Edit: I checked. It works fine.

The pages were already scanned and uploaded to the LBT wiki back in 2015.

Edit: scratch that, only some were, and bad at that. Maybe yours will be better? The file won't open for me. 81 MB!? That's quite a lot more than the LBT script. It won't download for me though.

Edit 2: Okay it is now, though slowly.
