Keene, Carolyn Nancy's Mysterious letter
NY Grosset & Dunlap 1942 5th or later Edition Hardcover Very Good+ Very Good+ Book
We recently acquired around 20 of the early Nancy Drew Books in the solid blue/orange treatment that was original for the series after '32. I will summarize and clone the particulars here to save time, then add them as time and research allow. No x lib. no blue tweed, (solid blue w/ orange Nancy) endsheets are of the orange Nancy silhouette w/ magnifying glass. All have original dust jackets and will be mylar wrappered. This book is number 8 in the series.The first non Mildred Wirt Benson. 19 titles are listed on front flap thru Missing Map. Back panel 8 Melody lane, back flap, 11 Dana thru "Rusty Key'. Copyright date given is 1932 and though no 'Wartime' paper notice is present on the title page I suspect this copy was done in 1942. Paper has the brownishness I associate with the wartime era, though mildly so. The text is wholly unmarked and reasonably supple, binding sound. Book uncocked and unbumped. Noticed a very odd 'flaw' at the last moment, holding the book just right under the light, a trace of wave/ripple to the leading edge of the front board. Suspect strongly this is as made by G&D as there is zero associated colorbleed, perhaps the blue cloth laid on a trifle too tightly? Red top stain. The jacket is handsome, bright, no tears to speak of. Upper flap reads p.c.j. lower says 110150. Front panel reads beautifully. Should look quite sharp in its new mylar wrapper and will be fotografed (BOOK AND JACKET) in same. Per Farah, glossy frontis. pcj price, should be 1943A. Jkt. title counts correct(6 MB, 15 JB) format #5. *We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately. Books listed by Brass Dolphin are so described, and graded, using the strict, traditional standards. For this reason, we have virtually zero returns.*

Keene, Carolyn The Clue Of The Leaning Chimney 1st Edition
NY Grosset & Dunlap 1949 1st Edition Hardcover Good Good- Book
Please excuse the long-winded listing. Solid blue (not tweed) boards with Nancy, dark blue silhouette front board.

Book seems utterly straight to me, uncocked, unbumped, some abrasion head/foot of spine, but there is a major topstain bleed issue. Apparently the navy topstain caught a tablespoon or two of H2O long ago. Thus book has color stain at top corner of first paste down (sheet fixed inside cover) and verso 1st endsheet, less so on adjacent text, also 1/2 pencil eraser size color dot top/front of text. Jacket (looking rather nice from outside) has stain top front flap and small chips out. Will try to get foto of the issue. Text bright, binding sound. Jacket will be in new mylar wrapper. The Farah we are using lacks this page, it seems reasonable to assume it is very earl;y and likely the first. *We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately.

Keene, Carolyn The Clue Of The Velvet Mask 1st Edition
NY Grosset & Dunlap 1953 1st Edition Hardcover Very Good Very Good- Book
Blue tweed boards, Nancy blue silhouette endsheets (not digger)- flap lists 30 titles with Velvet Mask last. Dark blue Nancy front board, wraparound jacket w/ Nancy holding magnifying glass on spine. Velvet Mask is also last listed last in books interior summary. Secret of the Jade Ring (Dana) and Forbidden Chest (Bolton) are final listed titles on back flap and back panel respectively. 211 pages. 2 odd flaws are noted. The verso of the 2nd endsheet had what I take to be a production roller mark, pale brownish, mild, in attempting to lightly erase (art gum) the soft text experienced a hint of abrasion. This is the blank sheet prior to the 1/2 title page. Parenthetically, only the 2nd time in 20 years I have experienced this. . . Additionally, I surmise that the last endsheet was inadvertently glued at its forward extremity to the paste down. The PD is the fixed final sheet. I was able to dislodge it with much gentle effort. It has left a tiny imperfection at the upper edge of the last endsheet. I will attempt to fotogaf these 2 issues along with book and jacket when time permits. Book seems utterly straight to me, uncocked, unbumped, no notable board edge abrasion. Text bright, unmarked, no creases or dogearing. Jacket has a hint of edge wear, micro-chip at spine, no notable tears, two 1/4" tears at top back panel and this back panel does have some scuff, will ship in new mylar wrapper, as do all of our jacketed books. Not xlibrary, 9595 at top front flap. Copyright page says 1953. PLEASE NOTE: this item matches Farah #1953A(1) format 14 (end papers #4) in all particulars as per our guide. Please order media mail shipping, we will ship (domestically) padded, boxed, insured, priority at our expense. *We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately.

We recently acquired around 20 of the early Nancy Drew Books in the solid blue/orange treatment that was original for the series after '32. I will summarize and clone the particulars here to save time, then add them as time and research allow. No x lib. no blue tweed, endsheets of the orange Nancy silhouette w/ magnifying glass. All have original dust jackets and will be mylar wrappered. This book is number 21 in the series. 21 titles are listed on front flap thru Missing Map. 13 BGy rear panel, 12 DG rear flap. 216 pages. Copyright date given is 1944, I suspect it was done in 1945. Paper has quite a bit of the expected browning, wartime conditions declaration is present, text wholly unmarked and supple, binding sound. Books top stain has left a hint of color on upper jkt. flaps. Upper flap has p.c.j. bottom shows 110-150. All this said, front panel reads surprisingly well. Should look decent in its new mylar wrapper and will be fotografed in same. Back panel and white spine have some soiling. Our very old Farah Guide seems to say 1945 A or B, format 8 for this, color difference very subtle from #6. There are 2 light ripples from bindery I suspect, front board. This one has pcj/plain paper frontis. seems correct. . . *We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately. Books listed by Brass Dolphin are so described, and graded, using the strict, traditional standards. For this reason, we have virtually zero returns.*

Keene, Carolyn The Secret Of Red Gate Farm
NY Grosset & Dunlap 1942 5th or later Edition Hardcover Very Good+ Good Book
We recently acquired around 20 of the early Nancy Drew Books in the solid blue/orange treatment that was original for the series after '32. I will summarize and clone the particulars here to save time, then add them as time and research allow. No x lib. no blue tweed, (solid blue w/ orange Nancy) end sheets are of the orange Nancy silhouette w/ magnifying glass. All have original dust jackets and will be mylar wrappered. This book is number 6 in the series. 19 titles are listed on front flap thru Missing Map. Back panel 8 Melody lane, back flap, 11 Dana thru "Rusty Key'. Copyright date given is 1931 and though no 'Wartime' paper notice is present on the title page I suspect this copy was done in 1943. Paper has the brownishness I associate with the wartime era, though mildly so. The text is wholly unmarked and reasonably supple, binding sound. Book uncocked and unbumped. Jacket 'flaw' noted there is a trace of red at each flap top. Suspect strongly this is as made by G&D,or perhaps the red top stain bled a trifle at some point. The jacket is handsome, bright, fingernail size chips out spine top and a (larger) one at back flap top, with two 2 " tears leading down from it. Upper flap reads 5050 (price) lower says 110150. Front panel reads beautifully. Should look quite sharp in its new mylar wrapper and will be fotografed in same. Given the price/ gloss fontipiece *We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately.
