If you didn't know already, I note that July 21 marks the 80th anniversary of the publishing of Swallows & Amazons.
I picked that up from Roger Wardale's "In Search of Swallows & Amazons", page 87, last paragraph, which notes the publication date as July 21, 1930. It was priced at 7/6 and the print run was 2,000 copies.
